Two very wise men had a lot to say regarding such issues. I summarize…
First, when faced with a similar situation Jesus told the crowd that had gathered,
“If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone…”
Matthew 7:1-2 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
I am confident when I say, the only difference between this man and the rest of us is that his secret is out. Think about yourself and shudder at the thought of the public knowing some of the things you have done. Things you hide in your heart.
Second, William Shakespeare wrote in "Hamlet", Act III, Sc.2, the play-within-the-play,
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
“Queen Gertrude speaks these famous words to her son, Prince Hamlet, while watching a play at court. Gertrude does not realize that Hamlet has staged this play to trap her and her new husband, King Claudius, whom Hamlet suspects of having murdered his father. She also does not realize that the lady who "doth protest too much" is actually herself, as the Player King and Queen represent King Hamlet and Queen Gertrude. Gertrude's statement is in response to the play-Queen's repetitive statements of loyalty and love for her now murdered first husband.”
I write this to all those self-righteous, holier-than-thou people out there that howl and cry with indignation to the top of there voices that such a terrible man could do such a terrible thing and have any chance what so ever of getting away with less than the most severe punishment possible. To those people I say, “Methinks thou protesteth too much”. It has been my experience in life that those who cry for blood the loudest are themselves hiding the most. Take a good look at yourself and be very careful what you wish for. Your secrets will out one day. On that day I fear for you.
Romans 12:19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
