Jones took night classes at Butler University to continue his education, finally earning a degree in secondary education in 1961. In 1951, the 20-year-old Jones began attending gatherings of the Communist Party USA in Indianapolis. Jones and his family faced harassment from government authorities for their affiliation with the Communist Party during 1952.

California law requires all employers to have a written anti-harassment procedure and they must inform all employees of the policy. That written statement should specify a person or office to which all complaints of harassment can be directed. If this type of behavior is isolated, sporadic, trivial, or merely occasional it will probably not qualify as a claim of sexual harassment under the hostile work environment approach. Offering any benefits related to employment in exchange for sexual favors is definitely a harassment behavior, as is threatening retaliation for any negative response to a form of sexual advances. 91% of child sexual abuse is carried out by a family member or someone the child knows.
