i doubt he wanted to, the organization probably didn't want to be attached to that.

They lied about how many people they have helped. They go after consensual sex work.

what is considered consensual sex work? Because from my understanding this organization is focused on children

Honestly, I thought the nonprofit's board was going to make him resign (and they probably did), but seeing him actually resigning and taking responsibility and not saying "If I hurt you" but that he did hurt them.

He's still trash for keeping that friendship, though.

Wouldn't be surprised if they kicked him off but allowed him to tell the press that he made the decision to step down to minimize any and all potentially harmful discourse to the organization.

He is never allowed to apologize again after that video apology. This apology is written by experts.

Yeah, the difference between his video apology and this written one is stark
