Why is that strange or awkward at all? Plenty of good relationships have started at the office, despite the American superstition that it’s somehow wrong to date at work. I’ve had a client’s business manager (i.e. person who signed my business’s checks) ask me out; I said yes but also made sure that she knew her boss wouldn’t get special consideration when we dated, two different relationships.
But anyway, if it had been just that, it would have been unlikely to be an issue — the groping and general fact that he acted like a pig started the whole thing.
