That's at a minimum predatory, and maybe sexual assault, and to me predation and sexual assault are deviant. If he just fantasized about it, it might be different.

I agree that the conduct you describe is deviant, but I don't think I'd refer to the person who does it as a "sexual deviant," which is how the conversation started. However, the more we parse the word, the less strongly I feel about it. Maybe whatever sexual urge the guy felt is not "deviant," but his conduct was.
