Can't say I'm that surprised. The trouble was the evidence that could've convicted him was actually quite flimsy. Sure, he said freely that he had sexual relations with his dementia addled mother, but when there are literally no other witnesses willing to testify (did Janke or any of the other trolls produce legal statements?), there's little prosecution could do. After all, how do we know he wasn't having a psychotic episode? He was admitted and given intense psychiatric care during this whole ordeal.
What separates Chris from Sick Nick Stoutzenberger is that the latter had a witness who testified. In Sick Nick's case, the victim and witness went through the proper channels to arrest and convict her rapist. CPS got involved and evidence was produced. The only thing that could've saved his ass (and this is a remote possibility) is if he denied the authenticity of the chatlogs and didn't send the criminal investigators footage of him masturbating with feces. Since there are no custodians of records for the chatlogs, deniability would be entirely plausible.
This isn't a defense of CWC insomuch as a cursory lawsplain.
