What would you do?

Make an example of him, put a horses head in his bed, kick him in the shins till his eyes water, sleep with his girlfriend, they're all good.

I suggest you publicly ban him temporarily. Make a simple, yet effective message. "We have banned "so and so" for posting obviously obscene and derogarory messages in this forum. We have decided his behaviour is not in the best interests of an educated, aware forum for the students. His suspension will be effective immediately for one week".
That way, the right to free expression is still alive because his suspension is just temporary. But usually when a person is publicly shamed, they feel like garbage inside. Despite the external bluster. Also, send a letter containing his posts and your ban to his parents.
Don't fall to his level and exchange insults, take the high road.
