This is exactly like that Hockey Coach in Canada that forced many of his players to have sex with him. Graham James was his name, and his sentence was not nearly harsh enough.

Although it won't erase the harm that he did, at least now the victims can have peace in knowing that he has been publicly embarrassed and removed from society.
