As messed up as that is, it is neither sexual harassment nor sexual assault, at least as llwhiteoutll has described it. If she's 17 or 18, I'm pretty sure that's over the age of consent (correct me if I'm wrong). If he gave her alcohol and it was in Ontario, presumably that's illegal but it's a far cry from sexual assault, unless he intentionally got her too drunk to give consent.
Again, it depends on what the facts actually were. But obviously no politician wants to have that hanging over a campaign (unless you're a Republican candidate for President apparently), so it makes perfect sense that he'd drop out.
