The newly released additions to the OED include "sexual harassment."  The first use given by the OED is dated 1975.  I believe Barry Popik posted a 1974 citation from some Cornell or Ithaca source on ADS-L at some point, although I am not seeing it in the archives.  In 2005 I definitely posted a 1973 citation from Newspaperarchive which is in the ADS-L archives.
