He really should just try to fade into obscurity but his latest action, and the soon too be aired documentary about him, will ensure he remains newsworthy for some time to come.
No he couldn't! You cannot be found "guilty" in a civil court. He might (or might not) be found liable in a civil capacity but as any liability would be met by his insurers it would no doubt be vigorously defended.
