I don't want to justify what he did cause it's flat out awful. I do think it needs to be put into perspective though. There's no way that this is close to the worst think that was done by any player drafted in the 1st round. At worst, others have done the same but not got caught. Doesn't make it better and doesn't mean it's not awful. There's a real chance that this really sets the kid on the straight and narrow.
My buddy's son did the same thing a couple of years ago. Good kid, was 17 years old and was getting laid for the first time in his life. He showed some friends a picture and got in some shit. Nothing too serious, there were no cops involved or anything. He ended up dating the girl for a couple of years. They only recently broke up.
His parents gave him shit and he felt terrible, and apparently learned from it and is doing great now. He's got his pilot's license and is in college. I can't imagine how it would have been better if he was ostracized and not given any opportunities to continue on his career path.

storm amongst the media and general public. Based off what the young woman that her picture taken has says, the Habs can start by working with Mailloux to come up a more sincere apology to the young woman. Apparently Mailloux first attempt to apologize left a lot to be desire.
