Our thanks to Nigel for this (Sun, no paywall). He writes:

“It is remarkable the way we indulge women. At first glance this seemed a silly story https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/31/barrister-white-witch-of-rye-harassed-elderly-wizard-court/ And of course there is the usual suspended sentence. However once one realises the man was 80 and read the story about what she did, well it’s clear had the sexes been reversed a man would be imprisoned. It really is remarkable sometimes the difference in how the same behaviours are treated. And the underlying assumption that a male victim will be quick to recover.”
