Answer
Consent means that at any point you can say yes or no.  If you did not want sex, and openly say agree or is you wanted him to stop at any point, then it is sex against your will.  I would report him as he will most likely continue to do this to others.  At the very least, have nothing to do with him and get counseling if you need to.

A good organization to contact would be www.RAINN.org
