When I was 14 and 15 yrs old I had a guy friend that I was as close with but was not yet aloud to date. He would put his hand(s) down whatever pants I was wearing, I’d neither say or no or yes. It simply wasn’t discussed but I would pull his hand away in certain circumstances or try to space myself so it wasn’t possible for him to do. He assumed I enjoyed it due to the reaction I had some of the time, I liked him and thought I loved him. I remember him taking my hand and making me jerk him off and I kept stopping but he’d have me continue. Eventually because I was nervous, uncomfortable and borderline about to have a panic attack he took over and finished.

Because of your age, there is no ability to give consent. So it would be an assault.

The issue had you been of age, is that you never said nothing.

How old was he at the time? Have you since learned that you must speak up for yourself? He was taking advantage of you, but I don't know about assault.
