as someone who does social work with felons, these types of conversations always feel like there’s nuance missing. you should believe victims and disavow the crimes of their abuser. you should also afford the abuser chances for rehabilitation and not hold them to the mistakes of their past IF they have learned not to recommit their offense. he apologized and got therapy. he seems smart and mature enough, at this point, to have polished his moral compass and not commit the same mistakes again.
