A misdemeanor.  A fine.  And under a recent Montana law, maybe expungement. 

"If your expungement is successful, the case is dismissed and all legal records relating to your misdemeanor, including court records will be destroyed. This means there will be no record that you were ever arrested, charged, convicted, or sentenced."

Only the media will still care.

It will be like that 'civil compromise' we had a year or so ago of the pedophile charge against the gay rights activist and fund raiser, Terry Bean, here in Eugene.  

Spend enough money, Republican or Democrat, and such things go away.
