Complain to the agency that dispatched him. BTW, got any proof, or is it your word against his.

It depends on what you mean by sexually harassed. If he asked you for a date or for sex, you said no, and he dropped the matter, it may be appropriate to do nothing. If he has a boss, you might complain to his boss. If he went further and his actions truly caused you emotional distress, and were such that they would cause emotional distress to any reasonable person, you could sue him and his employer if he is not self employed. If he touched you inappropriately, you could call the police and pursue criminal charges, although this might be difficult if it is your word against his.

You should report him/her to their supervisor. I'd do it in writing.

File a complaint with both the company for whom he works and with your insurance company or whoever arranged for the roadside assistance.

Report it to the police. File a complaint/report with the "roadside assistance" insurance. File a complaint with the "tow truck" company. File a complaint with Lansing, MI on the tow-truck company/driver.

You should report it to his manager. If he did anything criminal like assault you would report to police.

Report it to the police if he touched you. If it was suggestive talk, email the main company(AAA or the insurance co) and explain in detail what he did and said. Eventually, they will have enough to fire him or charge him with a crime the next time.

Complain to his boss and if it was serious enough you should file a complaint with the police.

Complain to the auto club or other organization that sent him and complain to his employer. Whether you have a case worth any money depends upon how bad the harassment was, any touching, etc. There are attorneys who specialize in unlawful sexual harassment and you may want to contact them for a free interview to see if you have a case.
