In view of the fact that the crimes took place in the seventies when he was a much younger man, and the fact that he now seems to be genuinely sorry for what happened, should he be treated with some compassion, and perhaps, leniency?

Perhaps people like this need treatment rather than simply punishment?

I can't help feeling sorry for the man he is now.

Yes, I felt uneasy watching the play, but agree, it's one of the best.

Indeed The History Boys is slightly dodgy - but so well written!

If a long ago crime of any kind is solved then the perpetrator is punished accordingly, whatever their age may now be.
Paedophilia should be treated no differently.

I see in the Telegraph that he's written graphically in his diaries so presumably more will come to light.
