People keep saying there was no harm done.

Wasn’t he at risk for an STD?

Wasn’t he at risk for a rape or assault accusation (if she needed an excuse for her whereabouts to a parent, husband or boyfriend)?

All intimate and sexual encounters between people are loaded with possible consequences but being drunk, coerced or incapacitated, he was unable to give consent or determine his own actions.

If this was a woman’s story there would only be support for the poor dear.
