If that doesnt work,

3. If you come anywhere near me again I am going to injure you. I have had to carry this threat out a few times, they dont bother me again.

As you are in the states I guess the injured person may attempt to sue you for injury, therefore it would be better to record on a hidden tape machine the persons sexual harassment

, then play it back to them with a threat of reporting them, that should do the trick.

That`s a great advice, but I guess you need to have guts to do so!

i'd go with spunkywho's idea 1st. guys like these r usually inadequate little arseholes and nothings going to stop them in there tracks like a little bit of fear.

im telling u. if u can get girls and r a nice guyt hen u can flirt and all for a joke. if u have to take it too far or too seriously then urusually someone who can't or feels the need to be incontrol cos they're weak so either get a male colleague to have a little word with him or someone from outside. doesnt need to be anyoen in particular. anyone can say i hear uve been harrasing my sister/ girlfriend/ cousin etc...

if that doesnt stop him get the supervisor, if that doesnt stop him go back to plan A but turn a little word into a beating

Well I would def. report him. But tell the person I report him to that I don't want the scandal and don't want him to get fired. I will tell that I just want to be left alone. He probebly will get a warning and if it doesn't help I would report him again and what happens then is his problem not mine. I was carefull the first time. But I need to feel save and comfortable at work to do my job and not being afraid some guy is coming on to me all the time.
