Sexual harassment is a set of physical, verbal or non-verbal behaviors of a sexual nature that has the effect of an affront to the dignity of a person by creating intimidation, hostility, humiliation, offense or a degrading environment. The Colombian penal code requires as conditions to prove a case of sexual harassment: first, to demonstrate that the victim has been harassed, persecuted or besieged; second, the sexual purposes in favor of the victimizer or third parties; third, there is no consent in the victim; fourth, a relationship of imbalance of power in favor of the victimizer and against the victim. The recommendations for the forensic evaluation include: Framing into the socio-cultural context of the evaluated person; Recolection of the story identifying the psychic trace and the emotional, social and physical effects of the sexual harassment and the closing of the interview -closing the psychic wounds that could be opened with the psychological exploration and not revictimize-; Make a succinct and clear expert report informing if there is a vital risk to the authority, the treatment recommendations and if you find fictitious sexual harassment.
