Reported Sexual Harassment/assault; Company Has Been "investigating" For Almost Two Months

Card image cap

Location: Incident occurred in Tennessee, but I'm based in Illinois. Prior incidents occurred in New York.

I recently reported a sexual harassment complaint where I was touched inappropriately at a company event by a senior leader on my team who is known to be "touchy-feely" with women (I have experienced his touchiness before, but didn't report it until this most recent, clearly sexual-in-nature incident occurred). Another coworker of mine also filed a report, as he kissed her on the cheek at a different company event. I reported this almost two months ago, and still have received no updates from the company on the status of my report, just that they will "keep me updated on the status of the investigation." I'm still forced to be in regular meetings with the perpetrator, he DMs me, and I found out recently they are sending him to another in-person event with other women on our team. It's causing me severe anxiety and emotional distress.

What rights do I have? What can I do? Thank you.
