The only time he started “apologizing” was when it became clear it was going to affect him.

Personally I don't think I can accurately assess that. I've never talked to the victim, I've never talked to the accused. How can I sit here and act like I know if he's remorseful or not?
All I can do is state that generally I'm not comfortable with holding something that somebody did between the ages of 8-14 and grades 2-8 over the rest of their lives (unless it's like murder or something and even then that's likely a bigger mental health question).
The only people that have said he's not remorseful are the victim of the family, and supposedly the magistrate in the court case (as per the victims family). And as I did previously say there is clearly a justifiable bias there, so you do have to consider that. There is clearly history here that goes beyond just the incident we can read about in the media, and I think we need to understand what the intentions of the victims families posts are. This is beyond "remorse" and "Getting an apology" IMO, and there is hatred and anger there and we have to consider that as part of their bias.
But if you are going to take the victims families word for it does that hold more or less weight than the accused's family...in both cases there are going to be biases.
