You are welcome. I checked and it 't seems that there is not. We try to use the least possible number of words but our goal is also to convey the exact meaning even if we have to use one extra word.
As for the note that there is no need to mention sexual, here is how sexual harassment is defined, http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for the help, I will go with "verbal sexual harassment" but I wonder if there is a one-word verb that defines this action

12 hrs confidence:

Bothering girls

Explanation:
Not necessary `sexual harrassment´ or `harrassment`... Just bothersome verbal injunctions
