Like what? Murder?
No, like penetration or full-on sexual intercourse.
Let’s bring out the mind reading machines and apply them to everybody. If you have a sexually sinful thought or if some past action has been revealed, instant death sentence.

It’s like the man who murdered and hid her body joins the search party and cries on national tv for her return. His willingness to do so much is because he is trying to direct attention away from what he has done.
