You should have mentioned that you told him 'no' and asked him to stop.
Your original post made it sound like you allowed it to happen without any resistance verbal or otherwise.
A friendship with someone who clearly has romantic and sexual feelings towards you they can't control isn't healthy. Unreciprocated feelings create frustration and heartbreak.
So I'd say forgive him if you want, but maintain a safe distance from him - allow him to move on. Don't risk getting close enough to him in private (especially if he's drunk) for something like this to happen again.
I want to forgive and reconnect with a friend who raped me.
