I'm saying I believe they can figure it out amongst themselves without massive international attention. Social media has this tendency to blow things way out of proportion despite not even knowing any of the context. I don't know what the fair resolution would be, but it seems odd to me that this mans life should be ruined over a kiss.

but it seems odd to me that this mans life should be ruined over a kiss.

This was not 'a kiss', this was sexual assault.
