This scenario is example of "Hostile work environment" sexual harassment.

Step-by-step explanation:

In US labour law, when an activity inside a workplace creates an environment that is unpleasant or inconvenient for another person to work in because of harassment, a hostile work environment is present.

A manager or coworker creates a hostile work environment that makes the job difficult to do, by acts, attitude or behaviour. It implies that the result has changed the terms, requirements and/or realistic expectations for workers of a comfortable working environment.

Examples of hostile environmental abuse include sexual harassment, inappropriate contact, comments or drawings sexually focused and even looking at the appearance of an employee.
