I remember reading about it at the time. It seemed grossly inappropriate back then, so I'm glad that justice has been done.
If my boss kissed me in front of my entire office, on the lips, when I didn’t want him too, I’d lump him!

Yes, it was wrong, but he hasn’t ‘got off with a slap on the wrist’.
