I think that he and the women should be ashamed of themselves but it was their choices both were adults.
Another thing that nobody has said he was single not married I don’t know about the women so in my mind they were all adults that chose to be in this behavor so who is cast stones at them now it is up to them to handle it not us.
The only person that I am concerned about is his child because I don’t know how he will handle this that is who I am concerned about all the adults I couldn’t care less about and that is a fact.
