This guy is completely unethical. In addition to his famous 'Prison Experiment' he engaged in relations with one of his graduate students.

Psychology is full of hucksters like Zimbardo.

Consensuality is such a fragile thing, when benefits and/or potential for exerting pressure are involved. Well, at least we don't need evidence that it wasn't consensual. /s
