On Sunday night, comedian Louis C.K. performed a surprise set at the Comedy Cellar in New York– his first after admitting to sexual misconduct nine months ago. His reappearance prompted outrage on social networks and op-ed pages, and has left many wondering: how does one atone for sexual harassment and assault. We’ll discuss C.K.’s return to the stage and examine retribution in the #metoo era. And we’d like to hear from you: how, if at all, can sexual offenders and harassers make amends? Should they be allowed back in the spotlight of show business?
