I've gone to Campus Security and they've said that since he hasn't made any threats to me that there's nothing that can be done yet.

Lazy fuckers. This is not true. Of course, you have to take some steps before law enforcement can step in. But I'll be happy to walk you through what you need to do. (Did I mention, former prosecutor, here?)

First, you need to get an Injunction Against Harassment. This is fairly easy to do, especially if you've kept track of this unwanted contacts -- whether in person, phone, IM, LJ, whatever. At your city court they'll have a form that you fill out, detailing his information, the unwanted contact, etc. The judge then issues an order (usually without a hearing, just based on your petition/sworn statement), prohibiting him from making contact with you in any way -- in person, by phone, by computer, etc. The police will serve the order on him. After he's been served, any time he makes contact, you call the police (not campus security) and report it, making sure they know (although your local police will have it on file) that you have an injunction against harassment against this person. First violation, can be a misdemeanor charge. Continued violations can add up to an aggravated harassment felony charge.

But the first step is getting the injunction. And there does not have to have been any physical contact or threats in order to get this. The fact that he's make sexually ladden remarks, and that you've made it clear that they are not welcome, and he continues to make contact -- this should be more than enough for an injunction.

Like I said, I'd be happy to help you with this.
