Hi SF_Boi,
The first issue is that this man felt empowered to (not use the court system), but to "discipline" his tenant who [allegedly] was afraid of ramifications. (Why does the landlord feel it is within his rights to do so?)
The second issue is that it (I am not saying you specifically, but comments I read in some of the papers that picked up the story) are making light of the story. (I confess, I laughed at first). I think this sort of thing makes victims reluctant to come forward.
The landlord was quoted (by the tenant; so allegedly) as saying "If you are going to act like a child, I am going to treat you like one" which implies that he feels it is acceptable to do that to a child.
Again, we don't have all the facts and maybe I am just reading too much into it, but I found this to be laden with problems.
