He's 64.
He was well known and was a very intelligent businessman and now, his reputation is ruined.
He was a public figure, well known to everybody in Québec as a powerfull and admired artist manager. Now his public image is ruined.
He used to go out alone to do grocery and other shopping, now can't even go out of his place anymore.
His personal life will probably be ruined too.
This guy is finished, no matter what.
The effect of his actions will hurt him a lot more that they would hurt Mr.Unknown doing the same thing. Mr. Unknown will fall back being unknown after a few years, Guy Cloutier, the image, will always remain Guy Cloutier, even if the image was shattered.
What he did was totally inacceptable and he should've controlled his impulse instead of doing it. The children he abused will have to live with this forever but they have a chance to go over it. He will spend the rest of his days with the pedophile label and, no matter how much good he does, he will never be able to get rid of this label. To me, yes he need to be condemned but, sending him to prison will only be money wasted. It will only allow violence to continue. He will not learn more or repent more in prison. He know what he did, he admitted it, and he pleaded guilty. A community sentence with a heafty fee to be paid to an abuse victims organisation, (heafty enough to make a difference in his bank account) a community work term and a therapy, that should be enough.
If it would be my children, I would not want him in jail for the same reason plus, think about it, if he's in jail, he's going to be protected from the other inmates and will not have to face the population. If he's out, everything and everybody will remind him what he did. Is there a better way to reflect on your actions? I could even pay him a visit once in a while to remind him, face to face, with no glass between him and me.
