High school teacher kissed student

A high school teacher chaparoned a public school trip to Europe. One night, he invited a student to his hotel room where he kissed her. Both the student and the teacher were under the influence of alcohol. It was a one time event, and when the student said she wasn't comfortable, the teacher allowed her to leave. Was it legal for the teacher to kiss the student?
