Sorry, but I don't remember the last time we said that we should respond to an apology made simply from one's own decision and no outside influence so negatively?

Sure, there should be some backlash and outrage, as this is really fucked up. But do you gain anything from personally attacking him? No. Leave the man alone, allow him to face whatever punishment he has to face because of his confession, because that's all he needs, and a constant spam of negativity won't help.
