For what jurisdiction? There's not one legal definition. Every country, and every state in the US, has their own definitions.
My state, for example, defines it as (paraphrasing) unwanted contact with intimate areas for the purpose of sexual gratification or humiliation, or to intentionally harm. It's a bit subjective and open to interpretation, but there's no way anyone would get convicted under this statute for a short, closed-mouth celebratory kiss.
Again, it's assault, and it's gross and inappropriate, but it doesn't meet all the elements of sexual assault.

The only person I ever kiss with both hands on their head is my wife, when I am being intimate with her.
Did you skip over this?
A kiss is not inherently sexual. Is a mother's kiss incest? I have a picture of my nephews kissing, is that CP? Hell, dudes in some parts of the world kiss their friends, on the lips, as a greeting.
Gross and inappropriate conduct isn't automatically sexual.
Stop the cap, mate. It wasn't a mother kissing their child or a friend kissing another friend. It was a grown fucking man, kissing a grown fucking woman. They obviously aren't friends or lovers. Ofc it's sexual, doesn't matter if 'not all kisses are inherently sexual, this one was.
