What this guy did was wrong and deserves more punishment, but news outlets should be focused on accurate and clear dissemination of the truth, not virtue signaling. From what I understand this was a seduction, statutory rape, and while that's still very wrong, its a lot less psychotic than violent rape. If you are running a story about someone being forgiven for a crime, it's very important to get across whether they committed crime x or a crime worse than x. Yet every outlet is just calling it "rape" in the headlines.
Using language that makes a story more ambiguous, for the sake of showing how wrong you thought an act was, is virtue signaling. If it's not virtue signalling, there's not a thing in the universe that is virtue signalling. You cannot logically dispute this, so save me your irrational, emotional responses.
