    You could start by not making asinine comments to female co-workers while you are in the office. No offense dude, but you brought this shit on yourself.

    If what you say you said is true, they don't have a leg to stand on.
    Do you know someone who can verify what you told this woman?
    If you have a co-worker who can vouch for your behavior toward this woman or other women, have them go to the HR and explain.
    Where does freedom of speech fit in in this case?
    Obviously you can't cause someone emotional distress by making unavoidable, disgusting advances toward a person...but if you're attracted to someone, isn't it your right to tell them? Is there a line that someone crosses where it turns from flirting to sexual harrassment?

    What he said was sexual harrassment. Plain and simple. It's out there. He crossed the line.

    She made the same statement to me first. I didn't say anything but laughed it off. Now, I'm being hauled in for the same thing? It's a double standard. I think I am going to lawyer up.

    I really think what you should do is ask your girlfriend, you know that real hot neighbor you told us you were hitting it with, what she thinks about you offering to take co-workers home with you.....

    I work at a place where if it is a "he said", "she said" thing, then HR dismisses the complaint. The only way there will be disciplinary action is if a) there was a third party present who can vouch for the complaintant and b) if there is written/video evidence. If they find that it's true, then depending on the severity of the harrassment, the accused is subject to a mandatory course and/or disciplinary action which can include firing.

    I am not sure how your policy works boots, but you may be possibly okay if it was verbal and it was only the two of you. But if there is an inkling that there is evidence, you could be in hot water.
