Answer to Question 1

In sexual harassment cases, where no tangible employment action is taken, a defending employer may raise an affirmative defense to liability for damages if (1) the employer exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct promptly any sexually harassing conduct and (2) the plaintiff employee unreasonably failed to take advantage of preventive or corrective opportunities provided by the employer.
