Sexually harassed by ex-supervisor

I'm not sure what the rules are on this, or what the statue of limitations are, but I was being severely sexually harassed by my old supervisor (who has quit since I confronted him at the end of January 2022). I have screenshots of him calling me sexy, asking if I wanted to get a drink after work, etc…. Real Don Draper shit without the swag. He grazed his hand over my ass twice but I have no way to prove that. I never pressed charges because he has a family. But I am seriously messed up about it, almost a year after the fact! I get sick before going to the building, I went to therapy but can't afford to continue (the small business I work for doesn't offer health insurance). I stay because the salary compensation is fair (especially for a photographer) and the owner is pretty flexible…

But I am seriously messed up about it, almost a year after the fact!
I get sick before going to the building, I went to therapy but can't afford to continue (the small business I work for doesn't offer health insurance).
I stay because the salary compensation is fair (especially for a photographer) and the owner is pretty flexible with hours, I'm still finding myself just flat out forgetting that this asshole doesn't work there anymore. I STILL wake up and it takes me a minute to realize he's gone.

I told the owner what was going on immediately after he quit, and he illuded to having been suspicious this kind if thing was happening, as another woman had previously come forward, but sadly no one believed her, and she just threw in the towel; quit.

It's not easy to find a stable job as a photographer, and he's gone so I have no reason to quit.

I just want this complete piece of shit to suffer the way I have in his absence. He's probably doing it to someone else. Who knows, he may even be dangerous.
I just can't get this monkey off of my back and it's chipping away at me, ever single day.

It's not fair that he gets to walk away with no consequences while I remain here suffering the aftermath of his abuse of power.
