If a social worker makes unwanted sexual advances to a member of the public, can the social worker be held liable?

¹ The state legislature passed a law on the very subject, prohibiting social workers from making unwanted sexual advances on members of the public. See Cal. Civ. Code 51.9. While "a violation of state law [generally] does not lead to liability under 1983," Campbell v. Burt , 141 F.3d 927, 930 (9th Cir. 1998) (citations omitted), we may consider all "relevant" regulations and statutes in determining whether a reasonable official would have known the conduct at issue was unlawful. See Hope , 536 U.S. at 74142, 122 S.Ct. 2508.
