Is it really worse than getting blind drunk and crashing your car? #tonyadams.
No-one was hurt, but that was more luck than judgement.

Things aren't always black and white.
There is a difference between dragging women off the streets into dark alleys and raping them at knifepoint and shagging some girl who willingly went to a hotel room with someone in the early hours (did she think they were just going to have a chat?) and later cried rape and was deemed too drunk to give consent.

Not that I'm condoning what he did, but there are shades of grey. Up to 50, apparently.

And in most normal professions a conviction is 'spent' after a number of years and no longer has to be declared to a potential employer, it's only the publicity surrounding this which makes that moot.
