1. Begin establishing boundaries. Tell him you are uncomfortable when he says something that is offensive, sends unprofessional emails to you, requests you do something you don’t want to do, and when he touches you. Make sure he knows that his behavior is bothering you and affecting your work. Document the time and date you do this, and document what you’ve told him.

2. Learn about the policies available to you from your company regarding harassment, and create a plan.

3. Begin documenting all of the harassing incidents (touching, dirty jokes and comments) and archive those inappropriate emails.

4. If his behavior doesn’t change, take your documentation to an attorney to determine if you have grounds for a civil rights complaint.

5. If you are let go because you have begun standing up for yourself, take your documentation to an attorney to determine if you have grounds for a civil rights complaint.

We would also suggest that you reach out to your network. Maybe you can find a job somewhere else soon. But in the meantime, take these steps to ensure that you can work in peace! You should never have to put up with this kind of treatment.
