If it is unwelcome, which presumably it is, then yes. It becomes actionable sexual harassment when you report it to his superiors and they don't do anything about it.

It fits the legal definition. If it is a one time event, make a formal report to HR or mgmt and ask for remedy. If it is a regular occurrence, or if it happens again after complaint, then you would have grounds for legal action. Now if the conduct is other than a one time thing, feel free to contact me for the legal help you�ll need.
