Search Results: asking for trouble

My friend just got an allegation against them by a coworker who they had feelings for. There was flirtation between the two, quite a lot at times, they enjoy each others company. My friend asked them if there were any feelings and start a relationship or anything between the two of them and asked who they had in mind to spend the rest of their lives with. They had become quite adoring and fond of that person they even thought about that person was the one they would have a family with. They go to work at the same place and have worked together often. After work my friend asked the following statements nicely three times over about a year and flirting or what they thought was interest. Now the other person has alleged that person has conducted serious misconduct regarding sexual harassment and stalking violations against they victim that was my friend’s romantic interest. They and everyone who knows my friend were taken aback by the whole thing as they don’t see each other other than work. He has never followed or stalked her or even cracked any innuendos to them even apparently. It happened after he asked her for the last time she made the allegation. He received an email under a odd address and thought it fishing. He heard about it at work Monday after the weekend. I don’t think my friend did anything wrong for just asking, he doesn’t cause trouble, asked only 3 times and has stopped. What do you guys think with the information given?
