Religious organizations and education institutions today employ a diverse workforce, and allegations of sexual misconduct or assault can arise in many different contexts, including sports-related scandals, misconduct in the workplace and student sexual assaults.
These kinds of allegations can have profound implications for everyone involved. Issues of physical and mental health, privacy, rights of the accused, retaliation, and criminal and civil liability all hang in the balance. Additionally, in this age of the 24/7 news cycle, hyper-media coverage, and social media ubiquity, how reports of sexual misconduct are investigated and handled can impact an organization's reputation for years to come.
