Sexual harassment is usually considered a misdemeanor and that bad piece of legislation known as Violence Against Women Act that Clinton signed was the reason for his troubles.
Most run-of-the-mill sexual harassment isn't a crime. And I'm not sure what the Violence Against Women Act did to change that. The provisions of that bill dealing with
Violence Against Women in the Workplace don't appear at first glance to be criminal. (Apologies for the source in advance - it's the first that came up on Google).

I believe part of the VAWA was the fact that there was a provision that the accuser could look into the sexual history of the defendant. The accuser's history was not admissible for some reason, cough, NOW $$$ cough, cough.
Without that provision the name Lewinsky would have probably never came up. I guess Jones' lawyers at the time knew about Lewinsky and it snowballed on Bubba from there.
Not sure about a State worker sexually harassing another State worker is a misdemeanor in Arkansas but it's a low level misdemeanor in several States.
