I would start by raising the issue with the company HR dept. They need to deal with this before any action is taken in court. If they fail to handle the matter, then you and an attorney can take action. You should contact an attorney for guidance in dealing with the matter.

Good Luck

Unlawful harassment is a form of discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other federal authority.

Unwelcome verbal or physical conduct based on race, color, religion, sex (whether or not of a sexual nature and including same-gender harassment and gender identity harassment), national origin, age (40 and over), disability (mental or physical), sexual orientation, or retaliation (sometimes collectively referred to as �legally protected characteristics�) constitutes harassment when:

The conduct is sufficiently severe or pervasive to create a hostile work environment; or

A supervisor�s harassing conduct results in a tangible change in an employee�s employment status or benefits (for example, demotion, termination, failure to promote, etc.).
