Have you told him you're not interested? I understand that you thinkTalk to the Police
With your behavior should communicate thisedit, this no longer sounds like 'persistent annoying' behavior but different people communicate differently and it's possible that he doesn't realize you don't appreciate hisrather extremely threatening, dangerous behavior. If I was you, I would be afraid for my safety.
If you haven't, consider sending him an email (or approaching himIn the next time you canstate I live, getting permission to carry a weapon on company property is basically impossible, but if email isn't an available option) explaining "I don't like the waythat's something that is a real option for you are treating meI'd definitely consider it. I am not interested in a romantic/sexual
I would call the police (pick onenon-emergency) relationship with you, and I do not flirtask for a restraining order. Please stop trying I would then call a lawyer specializing in workplace harassment or women's rights issues and ask to flirttalk with them about this ASAP because I'm worried for my safety. If they couldn't give me preliminary advice quickly, do not under any circumstances touch me withoutI'd find someone else.
My default plan would be to contact my consentCEO, explain what happened, especially the 'spanking' episode and interact withthe 'you want me in a strictly professional manner from now on. Do you understand what I am asking of, you?"
Assuming he responds in just don't know it yet' creepy talk. I would then refuse to go into work until the affirmative continuesexual harrassment situation is dealt with something like: "Great. I hope awould explain that I am afraid for my safety and until the company can look forward toprovide a positive professional relationship with youworkplace free from now onsexual harassment I will not be coming in to work."
I've found this sort of formal request that someone change their behavior really valuable bothIf I had any friends at work, I would tell them (via phone or email, obviously, since you aren't going in terms of getting people to understand that a cultural/religious/communicatory/whatever difference thatwork) what was happening and ask them, if appropriate, if they may have made lightwould be willing to cover parts of is a big dealwhat I was working on until the company decides what it's going to do about the sexual harassment. Something like:
"Hi, Tom, So John (the creepy stalker guy) has gotten pretty serious with his threats and I don't really feel safe coming to work right now. I'm hoping the Boss will take care of it soon, but it doesn't really feel like he's listening to me. In any case, I'm going to be taken seriouslyout of the office for a few days at least, and sodo you think you could handle (one of the things you were going to do that John is also qualified to do) for me? It's alright if the problem persists Iyou can't, I'm just supposed to have it done so (larger project) can inform HR "On suchgo online by (date).
Also (appropriate additional communications based on your relationship and such a date I told sotrust and sodesire for support from this person and whatnot)
(your signature email ending thing or lack thereof)"
Once I heard back from people, quoteI would email my boss and be like "Hey, so I got Tom and Dennis to cover (read quote. Have a printed copy of the email if an email was possiblething A). He indicated and Paul said he'd be willing to me that he understood my request. On new datedo (thing B) if he did new bad thinghas time. It seems I couldn't find anyone to me that this iscover (prohibited behavior categorything C), though. What are we going Hope I can come back to do about this?work soon."
I've also found that informing HR as soon as possible makes asking themIf you want to take action latermatters into your own hands, what's being done is almost certainly a lot easierviolation of several criminal laws in California, may be a violation of several others, and may lead to additional criminal violations. If they know that you've tried being reasonableSpecifically, Stalking, Violation of a Restraining Order, Criminal Threats, and it's failed theySexual Assault.
There are more likely to think of youalso several civil violations, such as civil harassment, that are relevant here. Criminal problems you can get solved by talking to the reasonable party andpolice by yourself. Civil problems are more likely to take your complaints seriously. Ifrequire a lawyer (which you can go the email routeshould be getting anyways at this point).
I would also make sure to lock my doors and windows, I'd definitely CC HR and apprise them of the situationto travel with friends when going out.
If you've already done this or something like thisTo reiterate, it's time to report this as sexual harassment. If you've already done thatsounds like a serious and somehow nothing is happening, it's time to talkimmediate threat to an attorneyyour personal safety and you should react appropriately.
