Man hit woman who called him a paedophile

Mr. Coll said he wasn’t surprised that the defendant had taken
exception to being called a paedophile but he criticised him for
hitting the woman.


That doesn't seem particularly newsworthy to me.

Man is insulted and provoked. Assaults person who insulted him causing
ABH, and is convicted of assault, with close to the minimum sentence
for such an offence (presumably the provocation being considered a
mitigating factor).

Happens every day, and the fact that the specific insult was to call
him a paedophile seems of only very minor interest.
