I'm horrified just reading your description, so being able to claim the victim was a slime ball (and thus somehow deserved it) doesn't work for everyone.

The full movie/novel sells the sliminess better.

But certainly not well enough to make all readers/viewers shrug and say "oh, it's not horrific, because it happened to that guy".
