There is the question of judgement. When someone does something that I teach my kids not to do, can you trust their judgement in the highest corners of government?
Kids should be protected from sexting, no argument there. Bad judgement? Absolutely.
However, once they become responsible adults, that decision is theirs and theirs alone. As it is for every other consenting adult who wishes to pursue legal, and popular, erotica with like minded individuals.
Illegal, criminal, misogynist or deviant? No to the first two. The second two boil down to ones personal belief or opinion. Not the law.
What you teach your kids cannot be held up as the county's moral stance on anything. It is simply what you teach your kids in order to do your best as a parent.
The only thing Clement is guilty of is forgetting his load station and attendant responsibilities while his other head was thinking. That's it, that's all. Unprofessional for sure, but not criminal and the only thing that should be judged in this case is the effect on security of state secrets.
Not that he was pursuing a legal activity.
Unless it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he has sent unsolicited photos to others, it's all hyperbole.
All those on social media claiming things like this need to come forward and put up or shut up. If they can't they should be charged.
This should really be so much ho hum, for a country that allows sex with animals.
