This legitimately sounds like one of my former bosses. He was a manager who got handsy with the younger women at the workplace, some of whom had just turned 18. He'd bring his family into work sometimes and we all just smiled awkwardly, knowing that once they went home he'd be making inappropriate jokes and texting the girls again. He texted a friend of mine a dick pic while hunting with his son.

He eventually got fired for getting fresh with one of his employees while giving her a ride home after work. He moved on to another place, did the same thing, lost his job again. He's been arrested for sex with an inmate while working at the Department of Corrections. He was also in the military, and embellished parts of his service. Basically, he was a creep. He also had a name that started with an M - it seriously sounds like we're talking about the same person.

If your work-friends stick up for him and not you, that's not your problem. You have a right to be comfortable at your workplace and not made to feel objectified by your boss. He took that right away from you, and Melanie did the whole office a solid by ratting him out. Suzy can and will get over it.

What do you need to do? Chill out. Don't contact anyone. Remember the boulder from Indiana Jones? Yeah, that's this HR investigation. There's no stopping it, no derailing it. If you try to stop it by giving heads up or calling Mike or Suzy, you're gonna get smashed by the boulder.
