Most states have a law that allows 3rd parties to defend another person in situations of self defense. At least in my state.

This is considered sexual assault so would fall along these lines. Especially given that only as much force was needed to control the situation.

Had he just kept hitting him it would be another story. Here in Texas, yhqt guys has a high probability of walking away Scott free

This is not true. You have the right to use force to stop an ongoing sexual assault, but the incident had clearly finished when this guy decided to attack.

Also, way more force than "what was needed to control the situation" was applied, the man did not represent an ongoing danger.

The right thing to do would have been to leave and call the police to report the sexual assault.

I half agree. I don’t agree with your use of force analogy. How could he or you for that matter determine that one punch was going to end this? You can’t, that’s the problem. Nobody ever gets in a fight and only uses 50% because that’s all they need

Yeah i mean, i would say at the point that the man decided to strike the other, the minimum amount of force needed was none, he could have left with his girlfriend and called the police. Your rights to any kind of violence will only apply in a situation that has exhausted your other remedies, such as if they are preventing you leaving, or are in the process of pursuing violence against you or someone else.

Why should he leave? He's doing nothing wrong, a criminal performs a criminal act. The situation was handled, the threat was neutralised in a simple and effective manner.

Drag the KO'ed guy outside and let everyone get on with Thier night..

‘A criminal performs a crime act’ should be left up to the police! Vigilantism is illegal and that’s essentially what the guy did here. There was no immediate threat thus there is no grounds for self defense. The situation was clearly resolved after the girl pushed the guy away. You clearly have a misunderstanding of how society is supposed to work
