That he doesn't know it was completely wrong of him to do is also a concern.

IMO it's likely not the first time, likely not the only member of the team he's made feel uncomfortable, likely has been talked about amongst them in the past with a feeling that there's not a lot that could be done about it because of his position and influence.
But he got "caught up in the moment" and behaved the same with the eyes of the world on him - wups - which gave her the opportunity to say "yeah actually this isn't OK" with a lessened risk of persecution.
