No, you can't hit your coworker for smacking you, even smacking you in the butt.
You VERY WELL MAY BE ABLE to sue your coworker and perhaps your employer for this behavior; the placement of the smack smacks of sexual harassment and of a hostile work environment. You need to speak with an attorney local to you who practices employment law.
Good luck.

The other attorney is right on point. You may have a legal claim against your coworker (and possibly your employer). Consult with an attorney in your area for specifics.
