In our comments back and forth, yes. But others think differently, and that's what I'm responding to; that and the lack of sympathy for someone who would make such a mistake. It’s probably not something they can change, that they are stupid/gullible/lack common sense/etc..

Otherwise, the women are just too dumb for their own good. If this happened to ladies in their 70's, they'd be considered unfit to live alone and probably put in a home by their kids. But since these women are in their 30s it's somehow okay for them to be so dim?.

Though I'm not a legal expert by any means, I don't see how being sexually touched under false premises, is a big leap to sexual assault (I'm not even using such strong words as "rape", though I'm sure many might).
EDIT: re-read the story, and indeed he was charged with sexual battery. So that's the term I'll use... still a serious crime. And concerning that others think it's not.
Even if the women are too dumb for their own good, that does not give the man justification for deceiving them and certainly not leniency for exploiting that. And I personally have sympathy for this, not so much humor. But hey, whatever floats your boat I guess.
Not even going to get started about old people...
