Boy, this topic got derailed rather fast, lol.

OP, I think intent is quite important here, and you left out a lot of information for us to really know how to appropriately respond. Was it an accident? If yes, then usually the other person already feels awkward, so I normally wouldn't make a fuss about it, other than maybe telling them to watch what they're doing next time. As a woman, I have been touched inappropriately on multiple occasions by both men and women; I try to always immediately address it in the moment. Usually people are apologetic, and in that instance I don't think it's a huge deal, and I let it go. If the person who touched you acts/acted indignant and implies that the source of the problem is simply that you're a prude or don't know how to "have fun", that's when I'd escalate the situation. If it's in the workplace, I'd report the entire conversation and series of events to either HR or your supervisor. I don't know if I'd ever really escalate anything to a true sexual assault charge that involved the authorities, unless it was a true attempt to force a sexual act.

Anyway, point is (assuming this was a serious question), I think that you need to assess all the factors that played into the incident and move forward from there regarding what you should do. If you genuinely feel violated and like your sense of self has been disrupted somehow, then only you can really determine whether or not it's a dire enough offense to move past a direct conversation with the person who touched you.
