No, standing close is not qualifying for sex offender. It's the "problematic" bit that makes him a sex offender. The fact that you suggest otherwise is rather disingenous.

And given that he pleaded guilty what else of his story do you need to hear?

Can we please stop making excuses for sexual assault?

I agree with the rest of what you say, but in general it's rather dangerous to assume that somebody pleading guilty to a crime necessarily means they did something wrong.
