If he has been proven guilty beyond doubt he does not deserve any sympathy due to his age. He has proven by his acts that he is a dirty old man and should be removed from society and belongs in jail.

At least the crime was reported and culprit punished;otherwise, even if these type of cases get reported, court process takes years to conclude and in the end these become justice delayed, justice denied!

@Shib Maybe at the time of incident he was not in the state of handicap or it could be fierce that he is disable to prove his innocence by showing his false disability.
whatever is he, he is not exempted by his self-gratification of sexual desire.
