Once you are no longer in a subordinant position to this guy, you can bring up the hanky panky at an appropriate time with the appropriate people. But since you do not have the other job yet, and it does not sound like you can afford to lose or quit the one that you have, you do not want to bite the hand that feeds you. Cool your indignation for now and work on getting the better job. No one says you have to like your boss, just deal with him.

I know it is hard to do, but letting her events fall flat will bring her absences to the attention of the people who need to know. If you can claim innocence of the events but then jump in and "save the day", all the better.
