Unfortunately reasonable people do incredibly unreasonable, immature and sometimes harmful things when away from home and/or out of their native environment. Being a retired military officer I cannot tell you the amount of times men were brought before me for non judicial, or company, punishment (i.e. one step away from a court marshal and possibly Leavenworth prison) because they forgot themselves when off base. When I asked them why? I usually heard they did these idiotic things to be funny and to impress their friends although alcohol was usually mentioned in their defense. I would listen, lecture and punish as necessary with extra duty, loss of pay and demotion to a lesser rank. Sometimes local authorities were also involved then it got more sticky and usually resulted in double punishments, civil and military. It’s funny but when I threaten to inform their parents that I usually saw actual remorse and received promises of good behavior in the future.
This 60 year old man who more than likely isn’t a sexual predator but a guy trying to be funny now has to go back home, go back to work, possibly go to church and explain his behavior to his friends and family.
Not to sermonize, that’s my wife’s job, but the moral really is “sin in haste, repent in leisure. “
