What he is doing IS wrong and I am suprised that in this day and age of lawsuit, sexual harrassment, etc. he still does it.
If you work for a company that is more than a few people, you probably have a sexual harassment policy. Do you have an employee handbook or anything else from personnel you got when you were hired?
If you work for a big corporation, most definitely they should have a printed policy against this.
The good thing about a policy is, you don't have to go into details about your boundaries, why it especially upsets you, etc. If he is going against their policy, he is going against their policy, period, and should stop it immediately.
I know a lot of us on this site may be overly sensitive to certain things, but in this case, I think your discomfort is extrememly normal, regardless of your personal history.
He is the one who is wrong, and not only that, but quite foolish. I'm sure there are lots of other IT people who would be more than happy to take his job if he got fired, especially in this day of outsourcing.
I would tell personell or your human resources department.
