Actually all harassment is a crime in the US. Just insulting people and saying lewd things isn’t harassment, though.

I don't think this is true. There are 50 states, each with different laws and definitions of acts and crimes. I am not aware of any federal anti-harassment laws except for those governing workplaces, and even those do not consider all harassment to be illegal.
