Hi Nakyiat,

It looks like you asked this question on text and I answered it there as well, but since the boards are a better place to have this conversation, I'll reiterate my answer here: yes, this would be considered sexual assault because he would not take no for an answer and continued to pressure you until he got what he wanted. That's an incredibly awful thing for someone who is supposed to be your friend to do, and I'm so sorry he did that to you.

Is there a specific way we can support you while you process what happened? We can offer advice and resources if they'd be helpful, or we can make this a space for you to work through how you're feeling about all this.
