NEWMARKET -- A Superior Court judge must decide whether to believe a 21-y ear-old accused who says he could not have committed a sexual assault be cause his penis is too big. Mischa Beutling, a second-year engineering student at McMaster University in Hamilton, has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault on a friend who s pent the night with him after partying at a Barrie bar during study week in February 2004. Earlier in the trial, which has been in and out of court for months, a ur ologist testified that Beutling's penis is in the top 5% range for size in comparison to the doctor's other patients. PLASTIC MODEL The urologist showed the court a plastic model of a penis approximating t he accused's member at a semi-relaxed state, which measured 8 1/2 inches in length and 6 1/2 inches in girth. He said a woman who has not given birth might have discomfort or tearing if she had intercourse with a penis that size, especially if she was not sexually aroused. But Crown attorney Bhavna Bhangu scoffed at the account, noting that Beut ling's reference to his size as a "two-by-four" is an exaggeration compa red to the size of the plastic model. She also noted that he has never a ctually measured himself. Bhangu also said the "size theory" was never put to the complainant on th e witness stand for her account. TRAUMATIZED Bhangu said the woman was traumatized when Beutling, who is 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds and who she believed was her close friend, forced himself on her. Justice Margaret Eberhard must weigh the evidence, including the plastic model.
