You don't have to be famous for that to happen.

Meanwhile, the man is blind, broke, his career is over, and he spent nearly three years in prison. No doubt he should have been punished sooner and more severely, but you can hardly say he got away with what he did.
Would there be a civil suit if he wasn't rich and famous though?

I still think I would rather be a free blind and broke man vs a incarcerated blind and broke man. Glad he got some jail time but likely deserved way way more.
