Personally I would have fired myself if I was in such a situation. I don't get some of the language being used about this. He's in therapy and counseling? Volunteering to help become a better person? That's language I would expect from a deviant who purposefully exposed himself on camera, not someone who made a mistake that made a bunch of people uncomfortable. I'm not saying his language proves he did it on purpose, but rather that society seems to be forcing him to do it. I suppose it could also be his way of coping with humiliation.

Maybe that's a bad take. I don't know.
