[FWIW, here is a 58 sec. youtube of the interaction](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxd1jFDXzsU). Personally I find it less than shocking. She was very ‘handsy’, doing an infantilization routine, and asking twice if he was ”going to behave.” He then played along by putting the microphone in his mouth, and a few seconds later (it seems to me) lightly placing a hand over her bosom.

To me it doesn’t look lascivious, and I didn’t detect any stroking or palpation or much of a grab. But I’m not Connie Willis.
