There is no slutty element in this story but since this contains a sexual element to this, I am sharing this in here. A while ago, this student of mine was flirting with me on and off and I had been ignoring him since he was being flirty verbally and I thought just like others, he too will grow over it at one point.
I was in my room that day when he entered to submit an assignment hat I had given to the class. He was absent on submission date so he was submitting it then. Once again, he started complimenting me on how I looked and as someone who had got bored of it by now asked him to stop and go to his class and I turned around to sort all the assignment. It was then I felt his hand tightly grabbing my ass. I turned around and screamed “get out” on top of my voice and he left.
In all these years of my teaching experience this was my first experience like this. I was so pissed and angry and the first thought that came to my mind was to report it to the college authorities, ask them to rusticate him and file a case against him for sexual assault. I walked out of my room and headed towards the principal’s office. But by midway I calmed down a bit and thought about it once again. He had one more year to go and if we kick him out now, given the reasons for why he has been, no other college would likely to admit him ruining his career. A lawsuit means he won’t be able to apply for any government jobs and also the pain this will inflict onto his parents.
I turned around and walked back to my room. I sat in there and really thought about it. I asked my assistant to summon this guy and in five minutes he was in my room, once again. I asked him to sit down and had a talk with him. I was sorry for what he had done and he said he did that without thinking. I asked him how he would feel like if anyone behaved like this with his mother or sister and he was quite. I decided not to push this topic further since he realized his mistake and gave him a warning that this should be the last time. For everything. For one year, he behaved until he graduated.
Now I am sure some of you may hold the opinion that I should have taken actions against him as he could potentially repeat this in the outside world. But to be fair, as a teacher, I couldn’t stand the fact that I could be a cause for the ruin of a student’s career and life. I tried my best to bring him into good path and he seemed to be on one for the final year.

I’m pretty sure that’s the best thing you could have done, educating is always the best solution. I feel like punishments are what you do when you have no idea how to properly handle a situation. But in this case, if you made him realize his mistake while still telling him this could have been real bad news for him, I’m sure he learned a good lesson there and won’t be doing it again soon!
I do think what you have done is right.You give a chance in life.If he does again outside in the real world either he would be beaten up or will be punished.
