// ...certainly very detrimental to both his character and career. //
And perhaps he should have thought of that when he behaved in a manner that is below what was expected of a man in his position. His character and Career are already shot. An apology would not make it any worse. As it is, his refusal to admit and apologise for anything makes him look arogant and unrepentant.

// ...people refuse to believe someones innocence //
But the independent report did not find him innocent, it said he did stuff that he should apologise for. He should apologise for what he did, and not apologise for the stuff that wasn't proven.
If he had done that last week, we wouldn't still be talking about it now.

youngmafbog - but he is not innocent, that is the point that you don't seem to be getting.
The parties involved all understand that LR is guilyt of inappropriate behaviour - but that does not mean that it can be proven in a court.
The term 'insufficient evidence' is a polite way of saying - 'We know he did it, but we don't have a strong enough case to go to court.'
That does not make LR 'not guilty', nor does it make him 'innocent' - it means what it says, there is insufficient innocence.
So the decent mature thing to do is to emerge with a degree of dignity for all concerned - including and especially LR - by making a reserved apology (as opposed to an unreserved apology) which means he comes away from a damaging situation with minimal damage.
His pig-headed 'I've done nothing wrong ...' stance does make him look - as advised - unfeeling and arrogant, the very attitudes that have brought him here in the first place.

I have thought of a good idea here. Couldn't all the other Lords and Ladies allow him to sit on the green leather but refuse to talk to him. In other words, send him to Coventry ? Until he owned up, like a good little boy ?
My Mum would have sent to bed without his supper ! She would also have given him a good spanking but we mustn't make it too appealing to him.
