That is correct, he did not personally physically abuse people. Does that excuse him in your eyes?
It depends. Did he tell them to do it? Did he watch it happen and ignore it?
I think a lot depends on understanding. If it was someone else acting on their own without his input, then I wouldn't think it would be inclusive of him. People can do bad things and be sneaky about it. So for me, it would be about if or not he let it happen out of willful ignorance?
Although I don't think it's necessarily optimal, I believe it's best to assume innocence until proven guilty. From a personal perspective, I don't know enough about it to form a position of guilt. Maybe he was being a bad dude and maybe he wasn't.
