Would the Australian (NSW) laws apply here because that’s where it happened? They updated their sexual consent laws not long ago and their easy reader is pretty clear that a kiss is considered part of that. Not sure how it would be charged under the criminal code: https://dcj.nsw.gov.au/documents/children-and-families/family-domestic-and-sexual-violence/domestic-and-sexual-violence-hotlines/dcj_easy_read_sexual_consent_digital_accessible.pdf

I was thinking about this as well. It technically happened in a workplace so I'm also wondering if Australian workplace laws apply here.

I thought that as well. She should have been encouraged to report him to the coppers -would have been funny if they did prevent him from leaving as they do for much smaller infractions sometimes.
