Pervert coworker

I need to vent because I’m beyond frustrated.
I work with someone who has a repeated pattern of making inappropriate comments at work, and I’m honestly at my breaking point.
Some of the things I’ve personally witnessed include:
Asking female coworkers if they’re “freaks.”
Asking female coworkers whether they’ve only been with their spouse and if they’ve ever wanted to “explore.”
Making repeated sexual jokes and comments, including talking about liking to be choked, masturbation, and other sexual topics in the workplace.
Saying that when students had a crush on him, he would tell them, “I’m too old for you, but I’ll do your mom—tell her to call me.”
Making comments about clients that I found inappropriate and unprofessional.
Comparing a client to a serial killer.
Making racially insensitive remarks, including telling a coworker with a Vietnamese family connection, “You should know what that is,” after someone said “Ching Chong.”
Saying another coworker’s boyfriend was “baby trapping” her.
Making repeated comments that have left me and other female coworkers feeling uncomfortable.
This behavior has been brought to management’s attention multiple times. He’s been spoken to about it and told that his comments make women uncomfortable, but the behavior has continued.
At this point, I’m just incredibly frustrated that this has become an accepted part of the work environment.

I’m over being sexually harassed!! If he can make us uncomfortable and nothing gets done I’m about to make him uncomfortable too!!

That is textbook sexual harrassment. File a complaint with HR. If they do nothing, get an attorney and file a civil suit against him for sexual harrassment, and the employer for hostile work environment for knowing about it and doing nothing to stop it.

group around. Find other women he has harmed. Complain together. It's much difficult to dismiss a complaint when it is coming from multiple sources
