This is disturbing stuff - a bloke would have received a hefty sentence no doubt about it. I agree that the most worrying thing is that the magazine thinks its funny and, like you said, even fabricated the "pestered for sex" reasoning. I wonder if the lady (probably) editors of said publication would hold the same point of view and found much mirth in the story if it was a woman who had to have stiches in her reproductive organ? The law has to be applied fairly across the entire spectrum of folk - men, women, old, young, rich, poor etc. otherwise the notion of justice is just that - an idea.
