The problem is the producers not removing Aaron would be inadvertently saying that sort of behaviour is ok. Regardless of Joel being pompus and political he is a teenage virgin. Just because he is more mature in other ways doesn't mean he's happy having a lad hop on him.

It was a dumb mistake but it was sexual harassment. The police are not involved because Joel doesn't want them involved. Aaron was evicted because the producers deemed that sort of behaviour inappropriate and wanted to take a hard line stance on it. Joel was very clearly uncomfortable throughout the whole thing. Just because his discomfort manifested partially in laughter and he tried to play it down because he valued Aaron as a friend doesn't change it being sexual harassment.
