On June 26, 2012. A guy in the UK slapped and squirted his girlfriend with brown sauce because she was reading “fifty shades of grey”. He told her to stop to stop reading it and when she refused they argued. The next day he shows up at her house. When she answered the door and the argument continued. She went to close the door and he jammed his foot into the door, slapped her once in the face, and then squirted her with this bottle of sauce. He soon regrets it after he gets arrested and charged with common assault and resulted in a six-month community order, a $231 fine – and, perhaps unsurprisingly, a reassessment of his relationship. He didn’t realise that the sauce incident would be classed as an assault. When interviewed by the police, Hodgson said he felt Fifty Shades of Grey was a ‘distasteful’ and ‘pornographic’ book.

District judge said Hodgson’s actions had clearly been intended to demean Miss McCormick .The judge ordered him to pay his victim $125 compensation and $160 towards prosecution costs.
The judge also imposed a 6pm to 8am curfew and a six-month community order. Outside court Hodgson stood by his views on the book and branded it ‘wrong’.
