Actually, that might not be such a bad idea. I don't mean literally punching him in the face, which might put her at risk, but maybe it would be a good idea for her to learn some self-defense techniques, such as the one where she takes his hand and bends back his thumb in such a way as to render him helpless with agony (my martial arts-expert brother taught me that one).
It sounds like he's clueless about the consequences of his actions, and she's not helping him get any less clueless, with her (maybe) laughing and setting boundaries that she has no intention to keep. This young man may not mean any harm at all; he may be just sort of a nincompoop in this area, thinking that if she's laughing and not leaving it must not be so bad. Getting a little taste of the discomfort he's been inflicting might be just the ticket to waking him up to what he's been generating for his girlfriend.
She doesn't have to break his arm or anything. Just bring him to his knees, whimpering in pain.
