Roadmap Forward was created by an individual that was wrongfully accused of sexual harassment. The objective of this website and the downloadable guidebook is to provide support to others that have been implicated in the same way.

"..this is a social challenge
as much as it is a legal one..."
I could not believe it when it was happening. Even now, looking back twelve months later, I find it hard to believe I was actually fired for sexual harassment.
I am not
a sexual harasser! I’m a father of three, happily married, and a
successful, highly-paid marketing executive at a large multinational
corporation! My mind was spinning with concerns and questions:
How could this
happen to me? What will my
wife say? What do I say to colleagues? Will this destroy my
career? Could I have
inadvertently done something my employee felt was inappropriate? How can I defend myself
when it appears I’ve already been found guilty?
If it can happen
to me, it can happen to anyone.
The first
thing I did was call an employment attorney followed by a search for
any insight on the internet. I found stories, online support groups,
and legal advice for victims of sexual harassment but nothing for those
accused of it. It struck me then that this is obviously a taboo topic
for the 30,000 people accused and fired every year. People are too
embarrassed to talk about it - I certainly was.
My attorney has been invaluable. However, this is a social challenge as
much as it is a legal one with potentially serious ramifications for
your career.
I’ve since put together a “how-to” guidebook primarily based on my own
experience and the experiences of several other individuals brave
enough to share their own stories with you.
The Roadmap Forward
Guidebook will give you a holistic framework for addressing
topics such as how to help your spouse through it, how to get control
of any communicated message, and how to forcefully deal with your
employer.
With help
from a first-rate employment attorney, I was able to negotiate:
- Severance of six months salary
- Pro-rated payout of my annual bonus
- Removal of any official language from my employee file about sexual harassment
- Formally restrain my previous employer about discussing the allegation with anyone including other employees and prospective employers
Before you accept defeat or spend $10K+ in legal fees defending yourself, download and read this guidebook.
