it's a different country, but ... in India in 2013 some types of sexual harassment were deemed criminal and punishable by time in prison.

In the US, many types of sexual harassment are also crimes, but sexual harassment, per se, is a particular civil wrong, not a crime.

    also: some types of sexual harassment that are not crimes in the US are crimes in India.
