I am being sexually harassed at work

When you say 'challenged' do you mean like she doesn't mind normal social convention or has some degree of a legit learning disability?

Either way I think the best way is to just be up front about your desires, or lack there of. Though depending on how sensitive or obstinate she is you'll have to adjust how gentle/harsh you are.
 
Hide in the back when she comes in. I used to do that all the time with customers who annoyed me.

But yeah, I get what you mean. I volunteer at the cable access station and we have a lady there a bit like that. She has cerebral palsy. Highly functioning but a bit slow and off the wall. She's asked almost everyone on the crew out, and most of the arena staff, despite having a boyfriend. You kind of have to watch what you say around her because she takes stuff very literally.
 
Call her bluff, next time she mentions sex tell her your stressed and need a blowjob to calm down, "would she mind helping me out with that"?..

she has some form of mental disability, what it is I don't know. Its not ASD. She is high functioning but it is obvious she is mentally impaired.

I am afraid I may have to be harsh about this. She doesn't seem to take things all that seriously. Its sort of like dealing with a 12 year old.
 
If she's unstable, pray that she does cry "assault" if/when you officially reject her advances.

Ask her to sit down with you at a table.
Ask her if she has 15 minutes to talk and if she's heard about Jesus Christ our lord and savior.
Have a pamphlet ready.
If she accepts the pamphlet, and sits down. Ask her if you can take a picture of her tits and that you need to show them to Jesus.

Obligatory ATOT response: Hit dat shit and post the pics!

Serious response: Claiming sexual harassment and getting your boss or HR department involved should be your very last resort. It's like saying you are too immature to handle a flirty customer. Save the sexual harassment claims for the real thing.

Sit her down right in the dining room, where everyone can see that you are keeping your hands to yourself, and explain that you are in a committed relationship and need her to keep the conversation polite so the customers aren't offended. Be polite and firm, but not mean.

Don't let this affect the way you treat her when she is in the store. Treat her as politely as you would any customer. If she continues to hit on you then you can talk to your boss about asking her to not to come back.

Quit and sue the shit out of the company you work for. It's the 'Merican way.

He may have a case if he complains to manager and he/she doesn't do anything about it.

Or he could just sue for psychological damage from being subjected to a hostile work environment?
 
because of her mental issues I don't want to end up being accused of something that I never did.

I will not be alone with or touch her at any time. The last thing I need is some psycho-chic stalking me.

I am weighing my options.

This - should anything happen; the fact that she is challenged will be held against you.

She can make up a story after being scorned (even though it is not intended) and she may not even realize that it is made up.

Keep your distance. If not possible; avoid any extra communication with her and always have someone with you as evidentiary backup.
