My first question to you is: Do you have a written security policy governing such actions, along with consequences and a chain of escalation spelled out?
If not, give it up, as it will rapidly devolve into a did too/did not discussion, with one of you bursting into tears, which, while funny in the movies, is not so fun in real life. That is not to say that you should condone this person's behavior. Make it a point to pop into his office, and say, "hey, how's it hanging...whatcha looking at, pictures of your sister?" then call other people into the office, and say very loudly, "hey, look what his sister is doing!". Point and giggle at him. Do that often enough and it 'll become an open secret, which is bound to bring attention to it. Otherwise, without official sanction and without evidence, you will be fighting a losing battle. You can also file a sexual harassment complaint about it especially if you are exposed to something that offends you or makes you uncomfortable in the workplace. Finally, if you boss is so worried, he/she needs to take the initiative and pursue this if it is that important. Tell your boss that your hands are tied without the f/w access, and that you have done as much as you can.
