At work I was sexually harassed and assaulted by my supervisor. As a result I have developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and have spent 7 months in counseling. While under severe stress and Major Depression (also a result of the trauma) I tape recorded my boss to validate that I wasn’t going crazy and that this actually happened to me. I had reached a point where I was so depressed and stressed out that I didn’t know what was real anymore. I had to take 1- 1/2 months off work because I couldn’t function. I told a friend about the tape and that the incidents really did happen and he said that taping a conversation is not legal because I didn’t tell my boss. I am finally gaining the strength to get back on my feet and I feel like I need to report my boss for his behavior so he never does this to another female. What can I do legally? Can I get into trouble for recording him? I live in Santa Barbara, California.
