Not at all - I've posted the account up so people can judge for themselves whether "someone putting his hand on her thigh" is a reasonable description of what is being talked about
Your initial post contained one incorrect element and was so vague as to be necessarily misleading in the context of the thread. You are now quoting a sentence from me while excising the part where I described the incident as groping, which I can only assume is further mischief on your part. Groping is an assault, not something different from and less than an assault.
Once more: This was a serious complaint which was, as I understand it, taken very seriously. That the incident happened was not in any doubt, there's no question of not believing the victim, nor of suggesting that it wasn't traumatic. Again as I understand it, the central dispute was not over the incident itself but over the appropriate sanction.
I should point out again, that the above is based on what may be incomplete information, and I'm more than willing to be corrected if it is. I'm not willing however to get into an extended exchange with someone who seems primarily interested in scoring points about it. We both know the person this happened to and am not going to squabble with you about it like this.
