He kissed her as way of celebration after winning the series. Understandable. She didn't want to be kissed and felt violated, so she made a complaint about it. Understandable.
He could've solved this by simply apologising. Assuming this was a "first offence", it would've been solved for the most part. Maybe she wouldn't accept it, but the public probably would.
Instead they've escalated the accident into a lawsuit and made a public enemy of themselves.

So violating an individual's rights is acceptable as long as 'the public' accepts it?
And if so, who is 'the public'? I feel I'm also part of the public in that case, and don't accept it.
No, not 'they'. It was just him, can't see any wrongdoing by her.
I think the they refers to the federation.
