Cosmodore only "got in trouble" after it was revealed that he'd groomed a girl who was I believe 14 or 15 at the time — and he would do as any nonce would and immediately deny whatever he could, damage control whatever he couldn't, attempt to restart his career several times desperately trying to get people to "forgive and forget", only to eventually go completely bonkers when he found that he just could not return to the life he once had. Last I remember, Cosmodore had started self-identifying as a groomer "ironically", only to actually groom another teenager, and once that became public knowledge, he disappeared from the face of the Earth.
All in all, Cosmodore was like cartoon YouTube's Bill Cosby: it seemed like everybody thought he was the coolest guy ever, right until the news broke of his predation.
Incidentally, my first exposure to Welcome to the NHK was through Cosmodore's review of that anime. That was the first video he ever made after his grooming became public knowledge, and in it he "reflected" on himself and his actions and how he related to the main character because of it all. The little white-text-on-black-with-no-sound message at the start of that video "addressing" the "allegations" against him was the first I ever heard of Cosmodore grooming anyone.
