If there are multiple reasons given, options for any of them resolve YES. Multiple options can overlap (so firing for sexually assaulting his sister resolves sexual assault generally)

Resolves on my judgement, but generally deferring to reliable reports / consensus

He does not have to actually have committed the act, belief in that leading to his separation is enough

Suggest options in the comments and I will almost certainly add them!
