If you decide to go beat this guy up to teach him a lesson, you will get arrested for battery, and probably assault, since you are over 18, you are not a minor, that's not something that just goes away because of youthful exuberance. It goes on your permanent record and will follow you when you apply for a job, look for an apartment, it affects your life.

Taking matters into your own hands, only affects, negatively, your future, it doesn't make your friend's problem any better, in fact it would compound it, because then she has to live with not only the memory of the sexual assualt, but that her friend, who tried to protect her "honor", changes his future forever.
