Re: sexual harrassment
Depending on the factual context, that comment would be classified as "quid pro quo sexual harassment", an illegal form of employment discrimination on the basis of an employee's gender.
Employees have a limited period of time during which they must report and pursue allegations of sexual harassment. If you are still working at the company, you should report conduct of this nature to the appropriate human resources representative and keep detailed notes of all inappropriate conduct going forward.
I wish you the best of luck.
