A note to our employees

Isn’t sexual assault / harassment a criminal offence though? Surely the state should be prosecuting the moment a law is broken?

Or does the US justice system work differently?

There are plenty of fireable offenses of sexual harrasment type that don’t meet the relevant criminal standard of sexual assault. Sexual harrasment is not a crime, though often it is very close to the crime of sexual assault (e.g. unwanted touching is a crime).
