sexual assault or not?

i was on holiday with friends last week in malta and on our first night there we went to a club. i started making out with a guy in his 20s who i had initially found attractive (im 17, was not looking for or asking for anything more than the initial kissing) and i was happy with how it was going until he put one of his hands into my skirt and into my underwear and proceeded to grab my vagina and then stick two of his fingers inside. it was only for a few minutes, so i don’t know it even counts as anything, but it felt like forever. you could say i was asking for it, as i was clearly initially showing interest by willingly kissing him, however i never gave any indication at all that i wanted him to go further like that). you could also argue that i am at fault for not stopping him or taking his hand out, but in that moment the only thing going through my head was panic and not a practical solution and so i guess my response was a sort of freeze response. i did stop kissing him though but he kept pulling me closer and grabbing me and trying to kiss me even when it was clear i was trying to get away. is it my fault? was this assault? or am i just too feeble to properly communicate and establish boundaries? please let me know your thoughts.

What I suggest is you ring these people, they are usually female ,have a lot of experience and some have actually gone through the same type of assaults, not all but some. They are sensitive and will know straightaway what to do.
Def worth calling ,or email them.

GIRLIE IF YOU DIDN'T TELL HIM YES OR NO, HE SHOULDN'T ASSUME. HES A **** AND ITS NOT YOUR FAULT!!
Don't blame yourself
You pushed him away, you tried to assert and maintain boundaries- if he decides to continue he's a massive prick and a r**ist
I hope you're okay now and doing better)
