Report it to your boss and HR .. this is not only sexual harassment but a breach of your privacy too.. Many organizations do not take stuff like this likely so it is likely this person will be given a stern and written warning if nothing more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
