University Lecturer Harassing My Sister: Seeking Advice on Next Steps

I need help and honest advice. My younger sister is a university student. A much older, married lecturer has been making repeated advances. He asks to meet privately, sends frequent messages, and suggests academic favours if she complies. She’s rejected him politely but fears her grades will suffer if she reports him. The pressure has become overwhelming and she’s upset. Has anyone faced something similar? What are the safest, most practical steps she can take to protect herself and her studies?

Has anyone here dealt with a lecturer making unwanted advances and found effective ways to document and report it?

Spot on—keeping a detailed log of dates and messages can make reporting smoother.

It's surprising this harassment persisted without any warning signals from the department's oversight or student union.

Maybe she could have been more assertive immediately instead of relying on polite refusals that seem ignored.

Consider collecting all messages and names, then approach the faculty's grievance office or an independent legal advisor without delay.
