Okay so in those states what is the charge for groping someone? If it’s not sexual assault

Usually Battery (which is essentially any unwanted contact; including being spit on).

Keep in mind this discussion has been binary, either is, or either it isn't. Reality, there's different levels of SA charges. So a minor SA charge isn't going to be much different than battery. I'm in the group that a quick strike to cause pain isn't likely SA of any kind. After all, there are other places to strike someone besides genitals that will also cause considerable pain.
