I am currently working for a medical office, were the supervisor is a male and he tends to power trip. Anyways, a week ago or so I applied for a hire position, which pays about 5 dollars more, we had a meeting in regards to this position. He began by telling me that he was giving it to me because he's my manager and that he could have given to anyone else but he had chosen me. He was making me feel like I owed him something. He has a history of sexual harassment with 3 other girls and recently I came across some e-mails that prove it. I don't know why he has being so crazy, he even told me that I had to agree with him in anything he said and that I had to do whatever he said. I just looked at him like he was crazy and said I had to get back to work and left his office. I really felt disrespected. What should I do?
Possible case?

At present he has not made any sexual suggestions to you, is that correct?

What you SHOULD do is QUIT, and work where you feel safe.
What you won't do is quit and find another job.
What you don't have is a lawsuit.
OP, there is significant difference between "power tripping" and sexually harassing. While he stated you have to do what he says now that he has promoted you, this statement in and of itself does not constitute sexual harassment, in my opinion. Based on your post, this supervisor has harassed other "girls." However, it does not appear he has harassed you yet.
With that said, you have a right to work in an environment free of sexual harassment. Since this fellow has evidently harassed other female employees, you should certainly be mindful of anything he does which does not appear appropriate.
If he does anything untoward to you, you should promptly report him to HR and/or other "higher ups" at the medical office. At that point, you should also contemporaneously explore with a private employment law attorney or with a representative from the EEOC or FEPA whether you should initiate a sexual harassment charge.
