Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

I feel I am being harassed at work due to gender discrimination. My co-worker has been going after me since I had questioned him on an invoice that he had submitted and since then he has tired intemidation, rude comments about me being a woman, to now being tracked by the person on my days off. I had been told that he was calling the President of the company and telling him I have only been working 4 hours a day, which I was going to the tag office first thing each morning to process customer's title work, I have since stopped doing this, our tag clerk has opted to mail them directly to the tag office. I was also in physical therapy due to a fracture on a vertebrae in my lower back. I had stopped therapy and asked my doctor to refer me to an orthopedic doctor so I can have a home TENS unit and do my therapy at home from what I learned from the therapist so I could be at work everyday, so these calls could stop. Then I requested from my supervisor for a day off on 3/18/11 and it was approved by him. Come back to work the following week I am told by another co-worker that I was being tracked. I then had a sick feeling in my stomach, seeing the new lengths the man was now going to. I then logged on to the passtime website and put in the serial # to the device linked to the unit I had been driving, and there they were, 19 locates done on me that day. I have brought these issues up to the powers that be in my company there response was to immediately ban all employee's from driving units, anyone caught driving one will be immediately terminated, also that very same day my rights to log into passtime had been taken away as well as my access to my company email. My GM emailed our IT person to advise him of these and he responded he had to reboot the system everyone will be down. which did happen for 2 seconds and everyone was back in but me and my GM. Finally I was given a reset password to access my email once again, upon getting back in, I had found that my file that I assigned to the President of the company, emails had been deleted. I then tried to change my password from the reset one and could not do so, I then email our IT person and ask why I could not. Then I was kicked out of my email and lost access again. I finally got access back on Wednesday, I found that everyone of my file folders of saved email had been emptied, and it took me until Friday before I was able to finally change my password. I feel that they a now do this out of retaliation for bringing my concerns to their attention, I have mailed my filing of a charge with EEOC. I feel I have been left with no other choice, that is why I am seeking legal council as well. On Tuesday the company brought in an outside Human Resources company to Mediate, I have given her copies of everything showing proof of my harassment. She told me she is there to get me to come to an agreement with the company, I feel that if I drop this, I will be immediately terminated from the company. What can I do?
