(NSFW) What should I do after this incident?

Trigger warning: sexual assault.

Alright, so last night a few of my friends and I had a bit to much to drink. We slept over at my boyfriends brothers house, so my boyfriend, our best friend and I planned to sleep on the pullout bed like we usually do. We were very intoxicated and Joe (my boyfriend) fell asleep around 3 AM. G (our best friend) and I took a few more shots before I decided to get in bed with Joe, but G followed me and started trying to grope my chest and reaching into my pants while Joe slept next to me. He’s never done anything like this before, but I chalked it up to him being really drunk, and high. I told him to stop and he went to lay down. I went to sleep after that, but woke up later to find him with his hand in my pants again. I tried to push him away. I whispered “no,” several times and asked him to stop, but he kept touching me. It didn’t go further than that as far as I know, but I don’t really remember when he stopped.

I know that it was sexual assault, and I know that it was wrong. I’ve already told Joe that I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to drink with G anymore. I guess my question is what I should do about this? Instinctively I want to forget it happened, and not ever mention it again. This is not only my boyfriend’s best friend, but my best friend. I don’t know if it would be worth it to tell Joe what G did, or if it’s better to write it off as something that happened when we were all really drunk.

I’m sorry if this is a little rambley.
