HR may not come back to you with anything concrete – their role is to protect the company, not you. They may investigate, chastise him and require him to take some training.

If nothing changes in the next couple of weeks, then you need to start looking for a new job. In the meantime, you can push back on work that is not in your job description. You can raise that with HR to ask why you are being asked to provide administrative support when it is not in your job description. And you can point out that none of the men are being asked to provide administrative support. Document poor behavior and save any emails. HR doesn’t want a lawsuit or negative PR. It’s in their interest to protect the company from this guy.
