I followed it too. It's a crazy feeling: one of my favorite teachers from University (A PhD in AI at the time backbin 2001) is nowadays in prison for murder .

Apparently he is gay and slept with a student, got drunk and passion got the worst of him. This happened years after I have finished school, but finding about it was shocking.

It shows that invariably everyone has a human side that may make us do stupid things out of passion.
