Probably a warning from his god would have been in order, maybe in a dream, although loss of powers would not be unreasonable.If the incident took place in a way inn or other out of the way locale with no real authority, then he acted correctly.If the incident took place in a locale where  the girls treatment was legal, then again he did the right thing. A law which permits actions such as these is not legitimate authority.Just my €0.02.glass.</blockquote>
