I don’t know who this guy and maybe I’m too naive but whether or not he meant it, he’s taken a lot of accountability for his actions and not tried to mitigate them. I feel like him adding in that there are missing details is fair enough, that’s probably true, but he still takes accountability. And I think it would be unfair to expect him to admit to being a sadist when it may in fact be true that he was just entirely indoctrinated by toxic masculinity and now realises that and takes the victims seriously. Maybe he’s not being savvy and is just being honest. Do you think we are predisposed to assume these types of apologies are manipulative and insincere? Does this put offenders who are genuinely repentant and wanting to take accountability in a position of impossibility? I wonder what your stance is based on your views that pedophiles and child sex offenders should be given treatment and supported into change (with which I agree).

“I saw the head lines & went into a mental health crisis, I’m okay now, but it’s not about me.” Says it all. Addressing allegations of rape is not the time to bring up your “mental health crisis” for sympathy. Whether he genuinely had a crisis for being caught or not, now is not the time. Talk to your therapist about your crisis, your mom, your friends. Not when “apologizing” for rape. Even if all he did was misread a situation, which I highly doubt, a video addressing allegations is not the time. “I’m sorry I raped you, but it was really hard for me when I got caught.” Give me a break.
