I have a question about the sexual harassment statute of limitations.

Hello, here is the answer to your question about the sexual harassment statute of limitations.

First, sexual harassment refers to acts where unwanted sexual words or actions are made to the other party, causing them to feel sexual humiliation or shame.

It refers to physical, verbal, or visual acts related to physical relations between men and women or to the physical characteristics of men or women, which, in light of the sound common sense and customs of the social community, would cause a general and average person to feel sexual humiliation or disgust.

However, non-sexual statements that demean women or patriarchal remarks do not constitute sexual harassment. (Examples: requesting only women to make tea or calling them 'hey')

The statute of limitations refers to the point at which legal responsibility cannot be sought after a certain period has passed since the incident occurred.

The statute of limitations also applies to sexual harassment cases, and the sexual harassment statute of limitations is generally 5 years.

For damages, there is a 3-year statute of limitations from the date of becoming aware of the unlawful act.

However, in cases targeting children under 13 years of age, under the Criminal Act and the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles against Sexual Abuse, the sexual harassment statute of limitations may not apply, so it seems necessary to closely understand and respond to the case with the help of a specialist attorney.

Please determine whether the statement was sexual harassment with the help of a specialist attorney, calculate the sexual harassment statute of limitations, and prepare response measures for damages lawsuits that may be filed together.
