I work as a police officer in Little Rock. I transferred to a different department and my nightmare started. Several officers started to sexually harass me. At first I ignored it but it got worse. I told a supervisor who ignored my complaint. I complained again and now I am going to court with practically no one on my side. The Police Department sent me to a psychiatrist and took away my gun. I have 3 different attorneys and every time I turn around it is something else. I feel really alone.

Thanks for speaking up about your situation. I'm sorry that you feel all alone in Little Rock. I found a few outlets for you, so maybe these can help to make you feel less isolated and alone. Also, because sexual harassment could easily and quickly become a reality in many women's lives, I thank you, too, for your honesty and support. This is certainly a comfort both to others who have been sexually harassed and to those who haven't had the will to identify it. Your case is also a warning to the harassers--that their actions aren't going unnoticed.
