Males who got sexually harassed, what's your story?

I worked as waiter in my early 20s at a hotel and there was a male chef who kept making advances towards me. One day I was walking and felt a finger poke my butthole. Apparently there was a hole in my pants on the back area and he thought it'd be OK to put his finger in there. I immediately turned around and was about to knock him out but held back as it was a new job and didn't want to get fired. I yelled at him and caused a small commotion. I immediately went to HR to report the incident but was told it happens all the time and they don't want to fire him because he's a good chef. They said they'd talk to him and told me to keep quiet about it. I couldn't believe what I was fucking hearing. After a few days past and things calmed down I talked to him. He apologized and said it'd never happen again. An interesting happened, I actually became friends with him after boundaries were set. Once you hear someone's story it gives you perspective. I was still upset about what happened, especially HR being useless, but found a way to forgive him. We're both quirky in some ways so I think that was a common ground. Havent talked to him in over a decade but hope he's doing well.
