This is where you seriously need a Criminal Law attorney. The best offer free-consultations to see how they can help. If you can't afford it, you should contact your local courthouse for information on lawyers in your area that offer free pro-bono work for those accused of criminal matters. Sexual Harassment law can be a civil case or a criminal matter. It depends on the severity of the charge and other information you might not be mentioning in your question.

If I had more information, I could tell you specifically what charges your friend might be looking at or whether criminal law or civil law is the area you are asking about.

It sounds like this is a "battery" case. Can be tortious battery or criminal battery.
