What he did was abuse and it was not your fault, so you should in no way blame yourself.

Often this type of behavior at the age he was though would be indicative of him being abused by an adult or another kid who was abused. The loss of power they feel as a result of said abuse causes them to abuse others in order to try and feel powerful. When not dealt with, this can often lead them into repeating this behavior into adulthood. Someone I know found out that someone who had assaulted them had first assaulted another person at the age of 11.

If I were you I would try talking about this with your parents, and I would avoid being in situations with this person were there are not others present (or preferably avoid this person completely).

Your safety should be the number one priority.

Your capacity for forgiveness and reconciliation is truly remarkable but eleventhirtytwo is right. Let those who haven't confused and unnerved you be the ones to benefit from that gift. By any means necessary prioritize your safety, though be careful to stay calm when questions like these gather significance in your mind. On this spectrum we lead crazy lives; we must take action to ensure we can still relax and pause in our ceaseless analysis of our lives.

When I was a toddler my grandparents used to grope my legs and make me kiss them on the lips when I didn't want to and they called me "sexy" and I think it counted as molestation but my parents don't think so even though I have traumatized flash backs of it.
