      Telling her she’s beautiful and asking for her phone number once is not sexual harassment. Continuing to do so after she has made it clear she isn’t interested is.

      However, it does look like he’s either looming over her or about to put his arm around her. That’s definitely not ok.

        He is standing side-on to the officer, one hand presumably resting against some surface (a wall) and the other hand on his hip.

          If you think that combination of body language and proximity is acceptable when speaking to someone for the first time you’re mistaken. It comes across as Intimidating. Respect people’s personal space.

      there might be a case if you could convince a court that by stating “is it X if I…” you are aware that the actions could potentially construe X.

      Technically, no. However, when an officer is at their post in uniform, interfering with their work is a punishable offence.

      The last two people who said no got downvoted to the negatives so I’ll say maybe and see if I can stay at 0.

        I don’t seem to see that panel. I only see the one where he got instantly angry and called her names.

          Actually it’s missing a lot of panels. She is interested and they date for 3 years before getting married. But then things turn sour after 4 more years, 2 kids, and both of them falling out of love, and she made up stories so that her colleagues ended up arresting him to gain an advantage in the custody battle. You can tell this from the way he’s holding his head in the last panel.
