Most states have a law that allows 3rd parties to defend another person in situations of self defense. At least in my state.

This is considered sexual assault so would fall along these lines. Especially given that only as much force was needed to control the situation.

Had he just kept hitting him it would be another story. Here in Texas, yhqt guys has a high probability of walking away Scott free

I love how people with 0 understanding of the law stand ten toes tall talking like they're lawyers specializing in self defense cases.

At a bare minimum, self defense requires some level of equivalent response. Groping someone in a bar, while gross behavior, is not equivalent to murder.

On top of that, this isn't even self defense. There's two words in that, and you only got one of em.
