I know this is fucked up in general, but am I the only one who's slightly bothered by the description of him as a "dental student"? Maybe I'm overthinking things, but I worry that reporting would look different if it didn't happen to a person of high status.

While you were dicking around, he was studying the tooth!

How would one phrase that if the victim were a urology student?

Studying the nephron? Or the waste management?
