He deserved it for cheating on her. No sympathy from me

I have a hard time believing that if a woman cheats on her man, it would be within his right to assault her genitals.

Good point... Assault is still assault, even with good cause... But f-me that must have been painful...

Yeah, I'm with you Murph. Can you even imagine the amount trouble the dude would be in? It would make international headlines.

Well if he attacked her first,then its self defense.

I don't see how infidelity is punishable by assault (a violent criminal offence). 2 wrongs and all that jazz...

Well she made sure he could not jazz for a while

Eina.

"The assault itself was not of such a serious nature. The sentence induces a sense of shock..." said Tolmay.

What? she ripped his scrotum open!

Jeez that sounds painful!

Well that sucks, love the double standards. If a man sexually assaults a woman that's serious jail time but if we reverse it we get a R1000 fine, that's nothing. Sexism is alive and well

Unfortunately, double standards are a hallmark of the society we live in.

Yeah. Equality is still a long ways off and the immediate response to this thread indicates that

Ouch! Reminds me of some sleazy talk show (Ricki Lake or something) where they had a woman on who had super-glued her cheating husband/boyfriend's penis to his leg while he was sleeping. Apparently she did it more than once since he didn't learn his lesson (Hillbillies hey?)

Sounds like something that would end up on an episode of Jerry Springer

Yeah, Ricki Lake was the less glamorous, even dumber version of Jerry Springer. Quality stuff for E-tv in those days

If the roles were reversed the guy would have received a much harsher punishment
