If the guy wanted to gain brownie points with the elders in his hall coming forward with an admission of guilt and repentance
might be worth it for him, in the long run at least. Being in subjection and reverence to elders lends the elders power and
control which is mostly the reason they took the position in the first place ( power and control ) .
Sucking up now may pay back in dividends in the future.
And don't elders like these admissions of sexual immoralities , they love knowing about peoples personal lives ,
these guys get off on stuff like this because it heightens their own sexual awareness .............got to love that power
