You do have rights. There are guidlines about what is actually
harassment or sexual harassment. I am assuming it is sex
harassment.

The best defence is other employees who have information about
this person. However, co-workers are usually to cowardly to get
involved.

You don't explain what was the actual event so it is hard to
determine what your situation is. Was it physical or verbal?
