Although I find there to be a certain amount of poetic justice in Waters being harassed like that I also have a certain amount of sympathy for her here. She repeatedly asked that the reporter come to her office to sit down rather than conducting an interview on the run. While Waters did indeed call for people to act the same way towards administration members I'm not sure the reporter should have handled herself that way. And assault? Come on...

It's clearly assault. I don't agree with the reporter for filing the charges, but any of you, in anger, simply lay your hand on someone with whom you're having such a discussion and you can be charged.

It's assault if you attempt and fail to put your hands on someone without their consent. It's Assault and Battery if you actually do make physical contact.

If she made any motion towards the other woman to make contact, it's assault.
