I need help with this one. It could land me in serious trouble but I don't know what to do. It's the one thing that puts me off doing the whole 12 step thing.
That's a tricky one. I guess it also depends on what kind of sexual harassment it was. This me too movement is no joke. By all means sexual harassment is wrong and victims shouldn't have to put up with sexual harassment.

But at the same time you really don't have to do much anymore in this environment and still be accused of sexual harassment when there really was no wrong doing.

The 9th step says, "Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others."

"Others" can also mean you. If there's a chance you can be in serious trouble I wouldn't make amends for this. At least not now. Right now I would put this amend in your Higher Power's hands and ask for forgiveness.
