Where do you read that it's an "unwanted kiss"?
Maybe I'm just missing it, but I've looked through this article 3 times and can only see it referred to as a sexual assault.

"The university defended its response to the alleged sexual assault on Meyer’s teammate — described as an unwanted kiss — by saying the incident was reported to its Title IX office, which decided against moving forward with an investigation, and local police."
The victim should go straight to the police and report a crime was committed against them. At least leave it up to actual investigators to make a decision if a crime was committed or not and not some third party with motive to sweep it under the rug.
You might as well be telling a victim to send their case to /dev/null. We have all of these awful systems as band-aids on the real problem - that of police being completely non-functional in their current state.
