My coworker is sending me messages on the work IM and threatening to go to my boss. In prior interactions he’s sexually harassed me. What should I do?

Before this above message I asked if he could clarify what he meant by “I know what else you can help me with ;)” which he sent to me over text. So that’s why he’s responding this way. I sent “leave me alone.” And he said “I could say the same to you.”

Remember HR is not your friend. Their Interest is Corporate.

Report him to your boss and HR and if it gets worse- the police

What has he harrassed you with prior?

He had me at his apartment and choked me and forced me to have sex with him by coercing me. He also sent tons of sexually charged messages and images, but I was traumatized and kept responding. Also prior he sent me an inappropriate video about a scientist who invented mustard gas, before I watched the video there was a warning that said “content contains self harm and suicidal methods”

Wow! Do you have any old messages left? that you can send to your email incase he tries to get you in trouble

[Asker]

Yeah so I’ve actually already been fired and I’m going through the legal process for this.

How bad do these messages sound?
It’s just the tip of the iceberg.
