It is rarely simple and can have multiple layers to consider but generally speaking Sliver is correct. What Louis did is by all of our standards of sexual crimes, less severe than rape.

As for one person's opinion on his crimes, that's obviously completely subjective.
I think there's a big difference between saying "not as bad as penetrative," (although I kind of don't see the point of this) and "I thought what he did was funny. That zany, sexual deviant! LOL!"
