Rapist's flood hero award revoked

I just saw this news regarding an ex-convict Bob Riddler helped out during the recent QLD flood in cleaning rubbish and other volunteer works.  He was nominated to receive a reward and then the invitation to goto the ceremony/reward was rescinded after his criminal record was made public.

It is understandable for the organisation not wanting to reward/be connected with an ex-rapist.  However, if the news of rewarding this guy had already gone out previously and then cancelled, it is also perfectly logical to think that Mr. Riddler will feel he is forever not going to get back to the society.  What will happen next?  Back to the dark side?  I hope not but I fear that is probably going to happen now this news broke out.
