me=15 boy=16 friend=15
My best friend was talking to me and suddenly she told me about my ex boyfriend texted her and they met while they were in the same store. My friend had thought he just wanted to say hi and ask how summer was going but instead he kissed her, grabbed her butt, grabbed her chest then licked it. She told him to stop after the kissing but instead he went on to finger her. she pulled his hand away and said stop but he just smiled and asked if she liked it. She said yes so he would go away. I told her she could file sexual assault, is this true? She told me not to tell anyone but I immediately felt like telling his strict mother who I am friends with. What do I do? I broke up with him while we were together because after 6 months I got bad vibes. How do I protect my friend from this creep? Thanks in advance!

Don't tell his mom. Support your friend abd tell her how it wasn't her fault and she didn't do anything to deserve this. Try to get her to tell a parent or another adult. If she doesn't, you defineitly need to.

That is dangerously close to rape (in some states, penetration with his fingers will count as rape.)
One of you needs to tell an adult. It would be better to tell someone who could support her, her parents or a teacher she is close too, rather than his mother. Telling his mother could start all sorts of drama that you and she aren't prepared for (and shouldn't have to deal with! You are teens!) The first thing to do, is to get her the support of loving adults.
Talk to your friend. It's best if she can realize it's not her fault and to feel safer by telling an adult, and she needs to speak to an adult who can her work through this. A good friend is priceless, but she needs a bit more than that to handle the fallout of that kind of assault.
Hopefully, he can be confronted by adults who can get this behavoir corrected before he assaults anyone else. However, even if that doesn't happen, she needs adult help and protection. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
