Okay, I admit it--I stole that thread title from the blog post where I saw this story because I couldn't think of a better one, and let's face it--thread titles make a hell of a difference in how much traffic your thread gets.
So here's the story (http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1310753.ece)
A 37-year-old man remained in police custody Tuesday, charged with a violent assault against his former girlfriend. He has testified that his only weapon was a dildo.
The 28-year-old victim remained in the hospital after suffering a concussion, two broken fingers and several cuts. According to local newspaper Firda, she told police she feared for her life during the assault.
The defendant appeared in the Fjordane court in the scenic western town of Nordfjordeid on Monday. He told said he was sorry for his actions, and attempted to downplay the assault.
"It lasted 10 to 15 minutes, max," he told the court. "I didn't hit her with anything other than a dildo."
He also suggested the woman may have had bruises from before the assault. "She doesn't tolerate much because of anorexia," he said, adding that he was sorry "for what happened" and demanding he be released.
He was instead ordered held for another four weeks.
Think of the myriad ways in which this guy is a dick. He beats his girlfriend badly enough to be hospitalized. With a dildo. Then says that she may have had bruises from before. Because of her anorexia. And that he's sorry for what happened, rather than for what he did, as though he were som sort of fucking bystander in all of this.
So what should his punishment be?
