OMG public lascvious friendliness and COMMENT-ANSWERING:
The allegations of improper touching stem from a meeting in November 1999, according to the report. Lewis and Robinson had two exchanges, both of them initiated by Lewis, the report said.
In the first, Robinson placed one hand on Lewis' arm and the other on Lewis' upper back. The exchange took place in full view of the public, and Lewis acknowledged that many who saw it would not have judged it inappropriate. He said Robinson answered his question and didn't say anything offensive.
In the second exchange, Robinson placed his hands on Lewis' forearm and back and responded to a comment Lewis made with a comment of his own.
Lewis said the exchanges made him feel that Robinson "presumed a far greater familiarity or intimacy than was the case" between the two men.
