    Gwen, does your HR department know that the police are involved now?

    I cannot understand why they are releasing (albeit edited) meeting notes to either of you at this stage.
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D

    It's getting hard to keep track of the thread now.

    I can't work out how to put someone on Ignore. It says that the user I've selected is not on the database, but I pick the name off the dropdown list it gives me?

    (I can't edit my posts, so is it just that I am set up incorrectly?)
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Yes.

    These are handwritten notes. Not even typed up. Just scanned in and emailed as a document. Therefore I'm inclined to think that no notes were taken for part of his meeting.
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    Sorry I dropped off for a moment there, you were saying?
    What she did continue to say was that she advised a man to commit a criminal offence.

    I'm currently gathering more emails. I have one where he insists on staying at my house after a work night out. I make excuse after excuse after excuse. Another colleague has offered him somewhere to stay, but he carries on pestering to stay at my house. Thank God I never let him.
    It really sounds as though it is getting worse for him. Well done for staying with it.

    I forgot to say...the girl who said she hadn't been offended by his touching her legs is a temp who was waiting to hear if her contract would be renewed the following week...
    Was it renewed?

    According to the 'Global Compliance Investigations Information and Principles' an attending observer (on your behalf) cannot answer for you, offer his or her own comments or interfere with the interviewer's questions. His ex-manager who accompanied him posed the question to him 'if Gwen had explained that she thought you had an erection, would you have responded differently in your email?' She also asks for details of the accusation. *shakes head*

    If it were so easy to not know whether your bits were in or out of your trousers, surely this would be a more universal issue rather than a one off? Perhaps you should ask your HR lot, or the [presumably male] managers who do sit down with you whether they have this issue or not - and if not, then how on earth could one person unintentionally flop their man bits out when all other men you've ever met in your life seem more than capable of keeping them inside their trousers.
    As I pointed out earlier, the draught would give it away, immediately.

    I'm starting to feel a little calmer about things, after being totally distraught this afternoon. The straw that broke the camels back was when I read his notes to say that he thinks I've invented this because I have 'personal problems' and refers to personal things that I confided in him with (when I thought of him as a friend). He's used what he knows about me and thrown it back in my face.

    I think I feel a little calmer because I have no doubt he'll sexually harass more women (I'm sorry that might happen, but I've done my best) and I've alerted HR.

    When I was very upset this afternoon, I was comforted by my manager and she made a couple of comments which I took to mean that she was very surprised by the outcome.

    As disheartening as it may seem, it was to be expected. He is up against the ropes and is desperate to maintain his job and perhaps his liberty. He will use every trick he can think of, to save his skin.

    No. My boss is the union rep!!! (Not the female one, but my direct reporting manager).
    But you don't have to use that rep. You can go straight to the union's central office.
