Hi Theodoranian,
Your community should determine whether to block it, but I can tell you that in en: it would immediately be blocked without any controversy. And it happens with much less obviously "inflammatory" names than that one.
Here is the template used in en:

Hi, Everyone,
Yesterday, one guy registered an offensive username, "Rape XXX" (XXX is a female wikipedian's name in real life, but I want to kept the victim anonymous here) in Chinese Wikipedia, and this guy left a message on the female's user talk page: "You are in my sexual fantasy. Are you a virgin?" I was furious about this guy's action and sexual harassment speech. I have blocked this id forever, and I also suggested the female user to report to police office. I want to know is there any policy on this issue? In this kind of situation, will the Foundation cooperate with different countries' police authority, and reveal the user log record to the authority?
Thanks.
