Sexual Harrassment, do I tell?
Ok, so I worked at this place and not sure if I was sexually harrassed or not since part of it was consentual. I found it hard to say no to this person. and found out he sexually harrassed multiple other people in the workplace.
and never ended up telling anyone. This person has quit this job over a year ago and so have I. since then I have come out and told a few close friends.
There are two girls who still work at this workplace, who i believe were also sexually harrassed by him.
I am not super close to them, but feel that I would feel better if I told them. but I am scared they will tell the sexual harrasser if they still have contact with him and ask him/ tell him stuff- which he will respond as always that he hasnt done anything.
this girl I believe likes her sexual harrasser, as did I at the time. I dont want her becoming hateful/jeaulous or vengeful of me.
I hope she will be understanding, but how do I find out before telling her?

You sound like the person who asked the other related question, with more details of the scenario.
It's not "sexual harassment" unless it's unwanted. You sound like you actually had a lot that was consensual. It would be very difficult to label your experience as "sexual harassment."
Both of you quit the job over a year ago. You don't really know these girls from before.
Frankly, you probably should drop the whole scenario and learn your lesson. If you start running your mouth with all the details about going down on your coworker in the workplace while having a boyfriend, etc., you're probably going to do damage to your own personal and professional reputation more than anything else.
And seriously, including what you described elsewhere, your situation sounded largely if not entirely consensual. That's not "sexual harassment." You might want to watch stirring up trouble with other people's reputation, especially if you're going to have a hard time backing up your allegations if/when things land in court.
