My girlfriend got me in a hell of trouble by accusing me of sexual harassment, but I am innocent. I couldn't bear her torture, so I left her. Will this accusation show up in background checks for private or government interviews? I didn't do anything wrong, but society often favors girls, and guys are almost always seen as "not the victim." I am very afraid for my future in the private sector.

I am considering looking for a new job but feeling extremely scared. Please help me or guide me in the right direction.

What is the present position of the case? Is it being investigated or filed in a court of law?

Some companies do ask in their forms for details of pending court cases, in which case disclosure is a must with details as required. The best situation is to try to sort the matter out at the earliest.

Take proper qualified legal advice from a lawyer who specializes in such matters with full details.

Hi,

If I were the HR recruiting you, I would first highlight to my team your court case, as it pertains to sexual harassment. I would need to consider the safety of the female staff. Wherever you apply, the company will think twice before hiring you. As Mr. Nathrao rightly asked, it is important to know the status of the case - whether closed or pending. Taking legal advice is a suitable option.

Thanks and Regards, Akash Sharma
