My sentiments exactly. I don't know the in's and out's of the case, only what I have read in the news like everyone else on here. If he came out now and apologised, admitted his guilt, expressed remorse etc etc, he would no doubt get a slightly easier ride in life. What has he got to lose? If he comes out and admits his guilt now they can't jail him again.
If he is still vehemently denying any wrongdoing then maybe he didn't do it after all. Only him and the alleged victim know for sure what went on in that hotel room. People get wrongly convicted of crimes all the time, as i'm sure many who are as guilty as sin walk free.
