Rejecting Supervisor's Sexual Advances Is Not Protected Activity for Retaliation Claim Under Title VII: N.D. Ill. | Practical Law

TRP Acquisition Inc., the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois held that rejection of a supervisor's advances is not protected activity for a retaliation claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), and that allegations of sexual assault constituted exceptional circumstances warranting an anonymous "Jane Doe" lawsuit.
