the event of him joining his former club is what had started the incident, this had led to jean starting her campaign. she also explained that he does not deserve to return to a high profile job like this and that people should not look up to him.

3) In your opinion, is this an example of a valid campaign or something of a witchhunt against people who are not doing any serious harm?
i think this is a valid campaign, jean hold a strong argument on to why he should not be part of such a well known and high profile job. with this job fans can see him as a role model and make them think that what he did was okay and can lead to them replicating the same thing. morally it also give a message that its okay for high profile people to do what they do and that once they have done there time everything goes back to normal.
