Can A Corporation Be A Victim Of Harassment
Q: The question is can a victim be the victim of
telephone harassment or would the charge require
that a specific person be the victim, or the calls
are intended for a person rather than a company?
Can we, as a company, tell someone they cannot call us and if they
do charge that person with telephone harassment?
A: i don't know the answer to the first question. Corporations can be victims of most crimes, but not all. But rather than look it up, I'll answer the second question. Sure it's ok to tell the creep that you will file a telephone harassment charge. If it turns out that a corporation is not an appropriate victim, then you will file charges that the receptionist or you or whoever is being harassed. Whether the corporation is an appropriate complainant is not something the harasser knows, and doesn't matter anyway. Go for it. yes. I got nailed on a telephone harassment charge last year after lecturing a company on the ethics of refusing to hire someone because of their disability and religious preference. As I learned, not only is it ok to discriminate based on disability and religious preference, but it's not ok to defend yourself verbally.
