IU Law School Indianapolis Prof Jennifer Drobac Appears on "Now" on PBS

Indiana University School of Law – Indianapolis Professor Jennifer Drobac will appear as an expert on the PBS show “NOW” set to air at 11 p.m. on WFYI in Indianapolis.

This show is about teen sexual harassment on the job.

According to producers of the show, teenagers are in more danger from sexual predators at their part time jobs than through the Internet. It's a vastly underreported phenomenon, but some brave young women are stepping up publicly to tell their stories. NOW collaborates with the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University to bring you an unprecedented broadcast investigation of teen sexual harassment in the workplace.

In the program, abused teenagers share their own stories with senior correspondent Maria Hinojosa. We track their legal journeys to justice, and how the issue impacts teenagers across the country -- many of whom don't know how to report workplace abuse, or to even recognize when their bosses cross the line.

 "Only when adults realize the extent and serious nature of this problem concerning the sexual harassment of teenaged workers can we protect them and help them protect themselves from sexual predators in the workplace," said Drobac. "I applaud PBS and E.J. Graff at Brandeis University for bringing light to this dark corner. Through education and legal intervention, we can do so much more to eradicate this appalling abuse and blatant discrimination."
