I myself probably wouldn't use the word "rape", though some people would, but in any case there certainly was some force and manipulation here. I agree with people who have told you to stay away from this guy, tell him not to contact you, and don't contact him. Uninvite him from the party. You don't need to tell anyone why unless you want to, and if they nag you about it, tell them to stop.
He behaved very, very badly. Maybe (and maybe not) there were things you might have done differently, I would not presume to judge from what you've told us. But he was absolutely a scumbag. The friendship should be over. Apologizing should not fix it.
You are probably doing some other girl a favor by sending this guy a clear message.
I don't take a hard line on very many things, but I'm taking it on this one.

I placed no blame at Julie's door. I just asked why she didnt go to her boyfriend or leave the room.
