The reporter went on to say that this kind of harassment happens all the time and that's why she didn't want to just let it go so she filed a complaint. In the end the kid was apologetic and embarrassed and hopefully that will make more of these fools think twice before harassing people.
And, ha ha, the kid has now bailed out of the radio appearance on the advice of his lawyer.

Okay, I know, I was being dramatic. But OMGWTF was banging the "sexual assault" drum a little hard throughout the thread. Example:

A peck on the cheek should not be described using the same language we use to describe rapes, IMO. I'm pretty sure saying "I'm sorry" doesn't get you off the hook on a rape in the same way it gets you off the hook when you kiss a girl on the cheek.
I am glad the reporter accepted his apology, though. You could tell it was a jarring experience for her and probably a little frightening to be blindsided with somebody in your space when you're in the zone, concentrating on your job. This ended exactly as it should have (assuming the internet warriors don't dig up his name and try to ruin his life now).
