what can i do if i was groped sexually and my employer hasnt done anyrhing
I work for a BIG company and was grabbed on my behind by a guy at work. They ‘investigated’ and said since I didn’t have a ‘witness’ there is nothing they can do. After that I I found out this wasn’t his first complaint. I think I signed an arbitration agreement when I was hired.

If you believe that they did not do a credible or sincere investigation, which is their obligation under the law, you could file a sexual harassment claim with the federal EEOC or your state's equal/civil rights agency. If the agency concludes that you are correct and the employer did not respond appropriately or reasonable, you may be entitled to compensation. The agency investigation is free to you.
