By doing a little searching, you may find an attorney who will not charge you for the initial visit while he or she decides if you have a viable case and you decide if you want to pursue a legal solution.
I would have the attorney write a representation letter, not to your boss, but to the company VP who is in charge of HR. The HR guy sounds like a jerk who intends to do nothing to resolve the situation. You will get an executive's attention if he believes there will be legal ramifications with media contact, bad publicity and a monetary penalty.
You are smart to document everything but print out those e-mails you sent home or you could lose them if your computer crashes.
Are there any other women in your office who have experienced something similar? Definitely talk with them...they will be an invaluable source of support.
Best of luck to you and please let us know what happens.
