What!? First, it is highly inappropriate for anyone in any leadership or management position to ask anyone to sit on there lap, no matter what their relationship status.

Secondly, making any kind of sexual proposition or advance in the office on someone you are not in a relationship with is sexual harassment.

If you are in a relationship, it's inappropriate and a conflict of interest.

Apparently around 20% of marriages begin with this kind of sexual harassment.

I wouldn't limit that to just people in any leadership or management position, that's just a aggravating circumstance.

Actually, I believe it's not. Only if the proposition is unwelcome it is unlawful.

So if this guy hasn't been fired, it's likely that the investigation concluded it wasn't a case of sexual harassment.
