On Wednesday May 11, 2016, Jian Ghomeshi apologized to Kathryn Borel in court, and signed a Peace Bond in exchange for having sexual assault charges withdrawn.  Here are the words behind Ghomeshi's apology:

Oh, I am so so so sorry.  I am so sorry that I got caught.  I am so sorry for the embarrassment getting caught caused my family.  I am so sorry that my career is in ruins.

I regret that my actions were so flagrant that they caused me to get caught.  I regret that the evidence was so strong against me, in this case, that my lawyer had to make a deal.  I also regret that this deal involved me having to apologize.
