Re: harrasment
If the contact does constitute harassment, and this may be demonstrated through witnesses or other type of evidence (ex. phone records, etc.), you may file for an Order of Protection with the Family Court.
Furthermore, some types of harassment may be criminal. If that is the case, you may file a complaint with the local District Attorney's office.

Re: harrasment
Have you filed a complaint of harassment with the police department yet?
Have you sought an Order of Protection against this person?
