    So, basically, we don't know what kind of perv was fired. Was he the voyeuristic perv or the adulterous perv? Hmm. Regardless, three cheers for him being fired.

    .

    My first thought was that he was just looking out for the husband, trying to save the marriage, something like that.

    That was my first thought too. Poor guy--he's just misunderstood. (But then, it's probably not so ambiguous when the pronoun options are either "he" or "me.")
