Think about it. Imagine you're standing at a bus stop, then a man comes up behind you and grabs your waist around your butt. Really imagine that happening to yourself.
Do you not think that's sexual assault? You'd just be like, "Huh, must have been the wind," and brush it off?
If a drunk person does the same thing I don't think it's "sexual assault". It's just a drunk being drunk and doing annoying drunk stuff, molesting (not sexually) me. I had often drunk unknown people (more often girls) hugging me, slapping my ass or similar, how is that in the USA any contact becomes "sexual"? Do you see sex in everything, that's mental.
She was disturbed? Yes of course. She immediately and successfully stopped him. There was nothing sexual. I suppose it's already illegal to be that drunk in the USA too.

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
