What about mental trauma and possible suicidal intent experienced by potential victims (am wording carefully, as there are no known criminal charges, yet)?
Is the alleged perpetrator feeling suicidal out of guilt over what they are supposed to have done to said victims or because they are shitting themselves at the impact it will have on their personal reputation?
I wouldn't want anyone taking their lives over this. Instead, if offences have been committed, it takes guts to 'own' it and face the consequences. Learn to live with it, because victims of SA have no choice but to do so.
As someone who has experienced SA, like so many here, genuine remorse and understanding of the hurt they've caused means far more than a (performative?) suicide attempt.
Ok, this person is in the public eye, but it sounds like it was that very platform they will have used to access 'prey' but that was a choice they alone made, whether enabled by others or not..
ETA: Edited for clarity.
