Was this assault?

[wickedlazy]

Didn't know where else to post, so settled on relationships. The sex topic seemed wrong.

I was at a party at a friends house last night. Her dp and I were left alone in the living room. I was dancing, he started to dance with me, then suddenly put his hand between my legs, and started vigorously rubbing my crotch. I pushed him away, then he put his arm around my waist (from behind) and did it again. I got him off me, went to find dp and told him I wanted to go home. Dp wanted to confront him last night, but he paased out within minutes of doing this.

I felt really violated at the time, but just feel confused today. Did he assault me? Told friend whose party it was today, but she didn't believe me. Then he asked to speak to me, and apologised for what he did, blamed being so drunk. Don't know what will happen between them since he admitted doing it. Not happy that she didn't believe me, but understand why.

like all posts in mn , IMO is implied , as none of us is present in rl. However, GOD, the police have the same operating beleif as i expressed , when someone has stepped over the boundaries with op/you/me/--- it's unlikely that they never did before and never will again. It's safer to operate on that basis IMO.I did not mean to scare you op, just not to minimise what happened and assume it will go away with no fallout. Better to report and nothing else happens than not to report and something else does happen IMO and then you will be asked why you did not report before.

And if she's asked why she didn't report before she can say because she didn't want to and that will be fine, accepted and understood!

Yes it is assault. It's up to you whether or not you report it. But have nothing to do with the pair ever again. You don't need 'friends' like that.
