What's goosing?

Either you are the gooseee or the goosor.
Seriously, that kind of interplay, although innocent, really is far from innocent in todays litigation conscious and suit happy environment.
In pure theory, if the other employee made a complaint to management, IT IS SEXUAL HARASSMENT. Without any complaint it could be.
I defend a lot of sexual harassment cases. I am currently working on one now where a supervisor "hugged" a subordinate. That turned into a criminal sexual battery case. So, be very careful and always mindful of the generic saying sticks and stones. Just because you like it someone else won't and you will have great grief and probably a lot of legal expenses too.

Let's just say that you're lucky you're not getting fired because of the complaint.
