Though these lessons seem simple

Humphrey Khoza or the 17-year-old girl he was sleeping with.

This girl, from Mpumalanga, South
Africa, who was not named because she is underage, had consensual–though
illegal–sex with Khoza. What she didn’t know was that he recorded the act on
his laptop, without her permission. And not only did Khoza record their
escapade, somehow the video got out.

The girl said she was so enraged
that she immediately thought of ways to make Khoza pay for his actions. She

The girl said, later, in an
interview, “I never intended to kill his penis. I was just angry and all I
wanted was to make him feel the pain I was feeling. I had to do something to
show him that I was angry and wanted to hurt him so that he can see that he
messed with the wrong girl.”

The girl said Khoza deceived her

Khoz, who had been dating this girl
since December, told reporters, “Everything happened in a blink of an eye
because I saw her when she was coming with a bottle, but I didn’t realize that
she was carrying acid. She just angrily called me a dog. She asked me how in
the world I could have done such an evil thing to her. It was only then that I
realized that she was talking about the video that I took while we were having
sex.”

While Khoza did admit to recording

“Even if I press charges it is

What do you make of this story?
Certainly two wrongs don’t make a right but do you think Khoza should take the
brunt of the blame for the way things turned out?
