>>"BTW - victim was pulled from bed, put over assailants knee and spanked through her clothes - presumably sleepshirt or similar and bikini underpants (not swimsuit)."<<
Well, maybe I misinterpreted "bikini bottoms" as part of a swimsuit. That to me seems more like standard usage in the U.S. But if you're correct that it was actually underpants, which for girls are typically even thinner than swimsuit fabric, then it was all the more gratuitous for Freudenthal to strip them away. Especially considering the bruising level of force he applied--unless, of course, he wanted to make it extra humiliating for her (maybe as payback for laughing at him).
Would you at least agree that having her buttocks exposed and touched by this man against her will while was likely very humiliating for her?

OK, but that could also be said for this incident:
Rolling Stone, Sept. 20, 1990
Rock Band Assault at Concert
The bassist and drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Michael "Flea" Balzary and Chad Smith, have each been fined $1000 plus prosecution costs and ordered to donate $5000 to the Volusia County Rape Crisis Center, in Daytona Beach, Florida. The two pleaded guilty to various charges stemming from an incident that took place during the band's performance at an MTV spring-break party in Daytona Beach on March 14th. During the show, which was videotaped by MTV, Flea threw a twenty-year-old female fan over his shoulder, and Smith tried to remove her bikini bottoms; after she was knocked to the ground, Flea knelt on her legs, yelling obscenites and spanking her. The two were also required to write letters of apology to the victim.
