Is Sam being crucified because he lied or because he had a relationship with a young man? I am inclined to think it is the latter, which is unfortunate. Sam did not break the law. He did lie but the lie was about his personal business. Its shameful that he felt like he had to lie because he would be judged for this relationship. If I was in a position where my personal life would be misunderstood or misconstrued in a way that would affect my career, I would have done the same thing. By the way, please stop calling the teen an 18-year-old boy. Legally he is a man who had a consenting relationship.
