Apparently, while interning with an Indian Supreme Court Judge, graduate Stella James was sexually harassed. She claims that in December, while in a hotel room, the judge harassed her in a non physical way.
The court has set up a panel of 3 that will review the claims and come to a conclusion. The committee is headed by senior Justice RM Lodha, and includes other Justices as well. They indicate they cannot take the accusations lightly.
It will be interesting to see exactly how she was assaulted, since she did indicate that it did not result in physical injuries. I think that it is hard for her to stand up against someone so influential and prestigious, so I am glad that she is doing that.
