As a pacifist for going on 5 years, I would ask you as nicely, yet firmly, as possible not to resprt to solving this with your fists. You run the risk of ruining the rest of your life. I say keep asking her to do something about it, and possibly tell her parents about it (who can call the police or maybe convince her to see a professional psychologist). I agree with you that this guy needs justice in order to understand that he CANNOT act that way, but you being convicted of assault isn't going to help anything. Just be there for your friend in her time of need. Offer to talk to her about it if she wants.
If you decide to use physical violence (and we can't talk you out of it), be sure you know the law. If necessary, make sure that he starts the fight and you have whitnesses who can testify to that fact. Be sure that you have your ass covered from all angles.
Best of luck, and best wishes to your friend who was taken advantage of. That can be a trying experience.
