I'm an attorney, you don't know what you're talking about.

Enlighten me. Dave had someone staring at his chest all meeting. He wants to make a case. Play that out.

Sure. Will it have a good chance of success? No.

YES!

I said this much.

If you're in a workplace and that behavior is happening and it consistent, it is a hostile work environment. It would be no different if the unwanted attention was on a leg, an arm, or a breast.

That case would end before it reached a courtroom. It would be insanely difficult to prove intent if we are talking about a back, arm, leg, non sexual part of the body, etc.
