Sometimes the best thing to do is to ignore it. The harasser is looking for your response and enjoys it, knowing that they have "gotten" to you. If it rises to the level of criminal harassment do not hesitate to report it to the police.
If a student reports harassment to you, the first thing you should do is listen to them attentively and take their concerns seriously.
Depending where the harassment takes place, the first thing you should do is contact your HR department or your boss. If this doesn't help, you may want to seek the advice of an attorney.
Since prevention continues to be the best approach to the sexual harassment problem, the courts consider the actions employers take prior to claims being filed.
The best way of dealing with harassment at work is to stay calm about the situation. Try talking to the person who is harassing you first and explain to them about how you feel. If they continue the harassment, then I would consider going to your Human Resources department and filing a formal complaint. It will then be dealt with appropriately.
Sexual harassment under Human Resource Management is anything deragatory to the opposite six--be it verbally, touching someone in a sexual area or threatening the loss of a job if someone does not have sex. Also, letters or emails that are sexually harassing, are also considered sexual harassment. When sexualharassment occurs the best thing to do is tell the person that you want it to stop and if that doesn't happen then go to the Human Resource Management department and submit a harassment claim. In addition, when undergoing sexual harassment--always keep a record of what happens--date, time, who did it and what you did or did not do--when the incident happened...

Sexual Harassment is a civil case, it is not criminal and would be handled as a civil suit. Criminally, it is classified as Harassment. If you wish to report the sexual harassment to policy, the offender will be charged with harassment.
Sexual harassment can take many different forms, from physical to verbal and nonverbal conduct. Employers are legally required to take measures to address sexual harassment in the workplace, and employees should be aware of their rights.

As with all offenses, you must have some CREDIBLE evidence that the harassment is taking place. Video, audio, eyewitnesses, etc. Criminal charges are not brought simply on unsubstantiated claims.
Very generally speaking, it doesn't have anything to do with who the harrassment was against. It has to do with the circumstances. If the circumstances warranted "aggravated harassment" (although it may not be called that exact same thing in every state), then it could be a felony.
