He's hoping it'll all blow over.

Dudes locked in for another 2-3 years on a senators salary and work expectations. He isn’t going to quit out of allegations that don’t rise to the criminal level. Especially since he’s going to be unemployable after this.

I'm ok with this - no one should be expected to quit over allegations.

If the allegations go to trial and he is found guilty then he loses his job and possibly goes to jail.

Allegations are just that - allegations. They're not proof, they're not a guilty verdict. Innocent until proven guilty.
