How much do you think this guy would've been awarded if this had happened in the US?

In case you didn't see/forgot this one. I think I posted about this a while back. I wonder what would've happened if THAT had happened in the US. Haha.

He'd be on TV stating he's not gay and insisting that it was a mistake to have plead guilty.
