And further, it really doesnt matter if you disagree or not, the fact of the matter remains that while what he did was reprehensible its been found that he has committed no crime and is not subject to further punishment.
So....bearing all of that in mind, whats the solution?
The law has done what its going to do.
Hes going to do what hes going to do.
The only wildcard left is how society (the Mob) is going to react and what they're going to do.
And what they do may not be copacetic with your ethos, but the mob is tough to regulate.
What else is there to do? The law is done, mob justice is all thats left and if they forgive then its done. Whether we like it or not.

Measuring it against other crimes is the wrong way to look at it in my opinion.
We should evaluate the action on its own. it was a severe form of sexual harassment that likely impacted the victims in ways we don't understand. At least I don't as I've never been a victim of that type of thing.
But boiling it down to "well he didn't rape anyone" doesn't really matter to me.
As for the rest, we don't have to simply allow the mob to decide, we can continue to discuss, debate and question that reality.
Accepting it because it is what the mob decides? Naw. That's not good enough.
