    I get what you’re saying, but I’m not entirely sure I’m comfortable calling it a minor infraction.

    Having been kissed against my will, it was such a deeply traumatic experience that I can still recall the moment with near-perfect clarity over 25 years later. I can still recall the violation, anger, shame and total helplessness.

    I’m genuinely unsure what makes it a minor infraction. It remains legally sexual assault. No one is trying to call it rape.

    My story and personal feelings aside, if this is what he does without thinking when the eyes of the world are on him, I feel confident he’s done far worse when there’s no one there to see. This was nearly instinctive behavior for him.

    Throw the book at him.
