behaviour/conduct with sexual overtones
Explanation:
Is one way of describing it - widely used in the context of sexual harassment claims.

Not close to resources at the moment to provide specific refs but I've definitely used the phrase myself on a charge sheet as a trainee public prosecutor in SA when I was studying. Check and see if it helps.

"What is sexual harassment?
Sexual harassment is unwanted attention of a sexual nature by a person(s) who knows or ought reasonably to know that the attention is unwelcome to the recipient(s). Dalhousie defines sexual harassment as "any sexually-oriented behaviour of a deliberate or negligent nature which adversely affects the working or learning environment. It may involve conduct or comments that are unintentional as well as intentional." Thus, it is defined by the impact of the behaviour on the recipient, not the intent of the perpetrator. Sexual harassment is discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and/or gender and is prohibited under the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act.
There are two types of sexual harassment, poisoned environment and quid pro quo. "
