fondle
yes, it is slang, I think the closest in ENg is fondle, as it also indicates sexually charged intentions
grab would be okay, but does not necessarily carry this connotation
good luck to you

: I think groping is a more appropriate term for aggressive and unwanted attentions - fondling can be a two-way thing.
