35. Potentially deadly force?
Was he completely alone with the guy and there was nobody around to help him if his alleged sexual attacker was actually attempting to rape him?

You're painting this in a very black & white manner. If you read the actual details, you'll see that this guy was with two buddies when the alleged assault occurred (one buddy corroborated his story, the other buddy said he hadn't seen anything happen).

If in fact he was touched, would it be reasonable for him to think he was gonna get sexually assaulted right there in the open while his buddies watched and did nothing to stop his attacker? Or did he in fact react with inappropriate excessive violence?

You think there's a law that protects that type of behavior in a situation where someone can not reasonably think they may be in actual danger of being sexually assaulted?
