What he did was despicable-but it's honestly a bit disappointing to see some people applauding her response. I think taking him to court would have been a better way to handle it, rather than mutilating him for life. Does the South African judicial system punish for revenge porn/unauthorized filming? I'm asking that question honestly, I don't know. I do think we're attributing a lot of our own culture onto how it was handled.

Regardless, I don't see any way to condone her actions.

This thread is confusing me. There is never an excuse to throw acid on someone's genitals. Come on people, basic rule of thumb. Acid bad.

No, burning off someones genitals is always worse. Neither are good, but acid or mutilation is never an appropriate response.

It was a total scumbag move on his part, but in no way did it justify what she did. He broke the law and will probably still be punished for it, and that should have been the end of it. It boggles my mind that people can even rationalise that, much less support it.
I'll give him credit though, he's far more forgiving of her than he should be.

Age of consent in South Africa is 16 so it wasn't child porn by their laws. Not at all condoning him video taping her without her knowledge so don't get me wrong there.

South African child pornography laws forbid filming an individual under the age of 18 committing a sexual act.

I basically came in here to post the exact same thing. Is it a crime what he did? Absolutely. Although South Africa has no legislation criminalizing revenge porn, it does have laws against producing and distributing child pornography, and if I'm reading things correctly, he could potentially face five years in prison for what he did. Instead, the woman decided to take the law into her own hands and mutilated his genitals, effectively castrating him. So she should face a hefty prison sentence as well. There are no winners in this scenario and the fact that there are some people who are condoning and supporting what she did is absolutely insane to me. It goes so far beyond the concept of eye-for-an-eye.

The having to urinate through a tube thing makes me think of Carlos Mencia in the "Fishsticks" episode of South Park.

It really is splitting hairs, as saying "produced child pornography with" conjures up emotions that aren't appropriate for the surreptitious videotaping of sex with with a 17 year old.

Not sure it's forgiveness so much as this guy has no real place to do anything. Yeah the acid was extreme, but it's entirely his fault that it happened to him.

Yeah she's wrong for pouring acid on his junk (where do you even find acid tho?!). Yes, a bit difficult for her to argue that she happened to run into him and did the first thing that came to mind. "The battery acid? No, I always carry that with me. Nothing premeditated here."

f***ing sick people on this board, wtf. It's not just this board, there is always a decent size "you go girl!" contingent of people whenever a guy gets his manhood mutilated. What are you talking about he has no real place to do anything? He should be charged with whatever crime for making the illegal video, BUT she should be charged with aggravated assault or something along those lines. He has every right to do something legally, and no it's not entirely his fault for what happened. Mutilation via battery acid is not a rational response to anything.

The report I saw yesterday said that she knew he was recording but was told it would be private and not shared.

I'll echo the view that the girl's actions should in no way be applauded. And that's not to say that what the guy did was not awful either.
