It's not a crime if you ask me.
It was a one-off (normal unlike workplace harrasment cases), the girl is probably just as strong physically as the boy, and neither have developed yet sexually. Gee. In primary school, many of the girls were bigger than we were.
I'd expect that the boy was still vague on exactly what society expects from him - and furthermore, he'd miles away from having formed a system of morals. Quite likely, he is struggling to figure why his actions have caused such a fuss.
My feeling is that this should have been referred to his parents. Punishing him severly on his first offence is only going to harden him to the world and make him resistant to the lessons that he has let to learn.
