Alleged harassment by a customer Bianca had recently moved to a new town. Bianca claimed that her new neighbour, David, helped her find a job

Alleged harassment by a customer Bianca had recently moved to a new town. Bianca claimed that her new neighbour, David, helped her find a job as a casual bar attendant at the local boat club, of which David was a member. Within two weeks, Bianca was appointed part-time Assistant Manager. From the day Bianca commenced work, David allegedly started to make unwanted sexual comments to Bianca such as "you owe me big time for this girl, big time" and "come on show me your tits and that will be enough". Other comments that Bianca claimed David made included "we want you to go in a wet t-shirt competition, you would win hands down". On one occasion when Bianca was at work behind the bar, David allegedly kept repeating to Bianca and other patrons at the bar "you're a lesbian aren't you". This continued for about two months. Bianca decided to make a complaint to the manager of the boat club. No action was taken. Bianca requested a meeting with the board of the boating club. Instead of investigating Bianca's complaint, Bianca claimed that the board members accused her of lying and demoted her to a casual. Bianca claims, due to the mental and emotional stress, she was unable to work. 

A) Does this constitute harassment Yes/No. Explain 

B) Should an investigation be completed? Yes/No? Why or Why not? 

C) If you were the Board of the club, how would you respond?
