Yes, a single act of severe harassment can be actionable in certain, limited circumstances. Examples include:
- female supervisor grabbed waiter’s penis through his pockets;
- use of racial epithet such as “ni[**]er”;
- deliberate and unwanted touching of plaintiff’s intimate body parts (for example, where a supervisor shoved employee’s face against his crotch); and
- an extended barrage of obscene verbal abuse.
