Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Is it possible to file charges against an ex boyfriend for sexual harassment? I

I went out with a guy for 3 months. I finally ended the relationship when I found out he was cheating on me. Ever since then he follows me everywhere,calls my house, and says sexual remarks to me. There is writing all over the bathroom walls about me that no one bothers to take off even after I've said something about it. I was wondering if this is sexual harassment and if I can do something about it.

Depending on where you live there are various stalking laws. Since this is a crime you must contact either the police or the District Attorney's office.

There was one interesting point in your question, the graffiti in the bathroom. Are you a student with the boyfriend in a school? If yes, and depending on the circumstance, you may have an action against the school for maintaining a sexually hostile environment.
