You have several options:
1. All of you get together and speak to him about his behavior.
2. The next time he gets in your face, give him a good kick in the crotch. (trust me, it will be the last time he does that. It might get you in a little trouble, but just tell your boss he touched your breasts)
3. Have a male co-worker or b/f or husband thump his *** in the parking lot after work.
4. The easiest thing to do is this... all of you prolly have cell phones. Most phones can record video or audio. As soon as you foresee a confrontation (you or any of your other female coworkers), start recording, BUT NOT so he can notice. Keep your phone in your hand or pocket. Maybe a co-worker off to the side can record discretely. There is no need for spy cams or other expensive hardware. Many powerful people have been taken down with just a simple phone cam recording.
Once you have the evidence. Save a copy to your computer and consult an attorney. DO NOT report to the boss right away. Have your attorney confront your boss. Once you have legal 'leverage', he will have no choice but to deal with the issue. This falls under 'hostile work environment' and 'EEO' violations. You will have them by the balls if you play this right. And entitled to a hefty settlement. Be smart, patient, and don't lose your cool. Good luck.

regrettably years in the past i did artwork in the same concern, it replaced right into a dr's place of work and it replaced into terrible. 8 ladies entire and a male dr. i sat close to the place of work supervisor and that i could hear her communicate effective to each lady and then she could rant insults approximately them as quickly as they left. the dr replaced into no help i think of he actual liked the friction like it replaced into exciting to him or some thing. i could go away artwork emotionally drained from each and every of the animosity and at last i stop - of course when I secured yet another job. the only sturdy suggestion i provides is what i attempted whilst working there, for each insult or nasty undertaking somebody had to assert approximately yet another worker i remained quiet, i began out conversations approximately matters that had no longer something to do with artwork- or the human beings i worked with, as long simply by fact the communication replaced into approximately some thing else i remained pleased and engaged and if it became grotesque i stored myself out of it. after a whilst many of the human beings there does no longer get me too in contact with there pettiness and did make some lasting friendships even though it stayed in my head that i could ask your self how lots they trashed me for ignoring all of their crap.

Get a recording device from a "spy store" (they have things that look like ballpoint pens, devices that fit into pockets, etc.) and when the sexist creep starts one of his rants, get close enough that you can pick up what he's saying. Record at least three examples of him doing this (to different girls, if possible). Then, all of the people he's done this to need to go together, ask for an appointment with the Human Resources person in the office, demand that he/she call the man in and be there in a meeting, and play the recordings with him present. Everyone he's harassed needs to make a list of the specific names he's called her, and when and where it happened. Confront him as a group. Another thing you can do is when one of you hears him start in on someone, all of the people he's yelled at need to stop what they're doing, go to where he's yelling, and surround him. Don't say anything, just form a group around him and block him from moving. Get in his personal space and stand there and stare at him. He's obviously a coward, and the yelling is probably the way his father treated his mother. He thinks it's all right to abuse women. Let him know (silently) that all of you collectively have a lot of power. Do it every single time he starts in on someone. About the third time it happens, it will unnerve him. Start following him around as a group. Just stand very close and stare into his eyes. He can't report you, because the whole lot of you can report him, and he will look like the coward and bully he is. If you want to carry it to an extreme, surround him at lunch and stare at him while he's trying to eat. (You have to be silent and not talk among yourselves). Also, be waiting for him when he exits the restroom. That will really get to him. Always be watching his eyes. I promise it will totally freak him out.

get your Resume ready and jump ship at the first opportunity.
then cite his behaviour as your reason for leaving and threaten a lawsuit against the company.
name names of other victims and tell them to watch his behaviour around them.
common sense has a point but there is no guarantee the company will back the victims and you need a backup plan. if they jump on the accusation and do something about him then you may not have to leave, but its good to be ready with a backup and your Resume should always be up to date anyway

Every single one of you, and I mean EVERYONE this guy has yelled at, all have to get together, as in ALL OF YOU walk into the bosses office at the same time, and each of you report what is happening.
This will make a huge impact and either get the guy to straighten out his sorryass or get him fired.
I dare you.
