If the harassment is also taking place outside of the school (which seems to be the case), you need to file a complaint with the police department as schools have no jurisdiction beyond their property lines. If the school does not get on this immediately, go above the prinicipal's head. Usually there is an administrator in charge of student services (or something along that lines) that handles issues that aren't handled to satisfaction at the campus level.

I would add to farmergirl's post that you should report this to the police no matter what your school decides. This is a legal matter. He is assaulting you. That it sometimes happens on school grounds does not mean that the legal system should not get involved. I know that some people believe that getting punished at school is all that should happen for violence that happens between students, however, I do not believe this is right. If you want legal protection from him, you need to get the police involved. Your school may be reticent to do that. If so, it is up to you and your parents to get them involved.
