Do I Have Enough Evidence For Sexual Harassment Case Against Boss? Never Done This Before

Card image cap

hi! for some background, im 25 and live in nyc. for context, i started a new job in January and my boss started a couple months before me. since i started, my boss has always been very friendly to me and i didn’t think anything of it. recently at the end of the work week he invited me and a coworker out to get drinks after work, but the coworker couldn’t go. i thought it would be a fun work conversation debriefing the week and how i was liking the job. however, he ordered many rounds (4) and the last round i didnt want but he insisted and i felt peer pressured into drinking it. during the conversation, he kept bringing up sexual comments/stories about his sex life and wife/said he had an agreement that he could have girlfriends in his marriage as long as it was “non advertised.” several things made me extremely uncomfortable-he asked me if i had an OnlyFans, with the context that he assumed i did freelance work on the side. he also mentioned several inappropriate things-he doesn’t do cocaine because it makes his sex drive crazy and that he has a crazy sex drive and loves “giving pleasure.” the conversation made me feel extremely anxious and like i did something wrong all week even though he is the one who brought up all those subjects. this week at work, he told me he has a thing for South Americans and he’s mentioned his wife is (I am South American.) i am feeling extremely anxious and it’s affecting my work life and i am considering applying to other positions and i don’t know if i have enough case for HR-however if he found out I made a complaint, I think he would make my life at work extremely uncomfortable. im completely lost at what to do.
