B2, this does constitute sexual harassment under most current workplace laws.
The first step is to be clear to him in the presence of others that this behaviour makes you feel uncomfortable and that you want him to stop. Word it however you like but be very clear that it is unacceptable to you.
Speak to your supervisor or HR dept so that they are aware of what is going on. You have an absolute right not to be made feel uncomfortable at work. Your Pdoc was absolutely right, you are not responsible for his doing this to others. Do what you need to do to look after you first, you may find that the outcomes of that cascade into helping the others too.
Take care B2 and know it was nothing you did that brought this on. It can be really hard to know what to do in these situations so don't blame yourself okay.
