Sexually harassed by ex - how to handle it

Posting here for traffic

me and ex share DS(7) and we split 4 years ago.

We split mainly due to his abuse - emotional and sexual. But he cannot / will not accept any of his behaviour as abusive.

after we split he and his family made my life hell, threats, fake social services calls, calling my work etc etc. things have finally settled down and we are able to coparent fairly smoothly

the issue is, in the past few months he has started sexually harassing me and it seems to be getting more frequent.

some examples are, groping me, telling me about sex dreams / fantasies he's had about me, telling me about looking at old nudes he has of me, flashing his penis.

all of this is obviously very upsetting and stressful for me, and I don't know what to do. If I try and talk about it he won't see anything he's done as wrong, it'll be pressed as an accident, he thought I wanted it, I'm playing the victim etc etc

im also worried with things being so calm if I do anything to rock the boat he will go back to making my life a misery.

sorry this has been so long, just looking for advise about how people would handle the situation

So your child must see this then? In that case not sure why you are allowing contact that's sexually abusive to your child also...

can you have a 3rd party do drop off/pick up?

He gets his penis out at your front door?

None of this has happened in my home. It's been at pick up / drop off for when DS spends time with him. I've cut as much contact as possible with him, I don't allow him into my home

I would handle it by not spending any time with him

How does he manage to do this? Why are you spending time with him ? It's an easy solution stop letting him into your home?
