HR miss management of sexual assault and harassment.

did you involve the local police? Did you file a restraining order?

If anything, your coworker's wife has more of a case for employer negligence than you would and I am not sure how she would if it also happened outside of work. Where did it happen? Why were she and this person together in the same place....Did she call the police?

The fact that your statement was not in your file isn't going to rise to a huge level of liability or give you legal recourse generally. In the end, this is a criminal police matter rather than an employer matter unless this happened to either of you AT work or a work event.

 

Frankly, I don't think you have any recourse against your employer since it happened away from work.

However, you are welcome to get a lawyer and sue the person that assaulted you and you are welcome to report the assault to the police and make sure they are aware of the second assault by the person.

What good any of that will do you is anybody's guess.

You should have gotten the police involved day one.

 

Unless this happened at an off site work event or while on a business trip your employer isn't liable. Employers aren't responsible for what their employees do off work hours and in their personal lives.

The statement might have been removed as it has nothing at all to do with your employment. It is strictly a civil and possibly criminal matter. There is no reason your employer should need those details about you.

The statement about off work doesn't obligate them to act on every improper thing an employee might do on their own time. Typically the organization will only act if the off duty conduct had some material affect on the business.

Hopefully you reported this to the police and or have gotten counseling.

 

Did you report this to the police? If not, why not? If so, what happened as a result?

I assume you mean November 2018, which was last year, not this year. In any event, did the victim of this alleged crime report what happened to the police?

Brought up by whom? Statement made by whom to whom? Who are "they"?

You can sue the person who allegedly assaulted you. Nothing in your post suggests you have any legal recourse against your employer. Your employer did not assault you, and the apparent failure to save your statement in your personnel file caused no harm to you.
