For pulling the pants as a sexual harassment?
We, probably don’t know the full picture. Because based on info from the comment only, arrest of a minor (not just a detention) seems to be too harsh of a punishment
Maybe I’m unclear on what you don’t understand about the details that have been provided. What is your perception of the difference between being arrested and detained? Sexual harassment (and sexual assault as described above) is a crime in civilized places. Detention and arrest are part of a process to document and investigate alleged crimes. Those steps in the process are not the punishment though, that would be sorted out during sentencing if the prosecution is successful in court.
The age was not specified. You don’t have to be an adult to be arrested.

I thought arrest is when police officials put you in a cell / restrict your movement and initiate a case. Wich seems too harsh for a minor.
And by detention I mean school detention from classes.
I can see how that view would be reasonable if sexual assault were not a serious crime (which it is).
But is pulling pants of one minor by another minor really a sexual assault?
Yes.
