British Columbia man convicted of 13 counts of sexually assaulting his stepdaughters who also “smeared peanut butter on the genitals of his victims and had the family dog lick it off while he videotaped the act.
Nope, I want to find that dude and hurt him. This is a defining characteristic of an empire or nation in decline. This is the moment every empire or nation faced and the empire's people just said: "Fuck this. I don't want this whole thing to work anymore. I want this system to fail." Shortly there after, every empire and nation state fell. Goodbye Canada.

To be fair, 2 points: first, this isn't legalizing anything as much as stating that under the law as written, it was technically legal. We just sort of discovered it now. Second, it's not like this guy isn't going to jail forever. He managed to get one tiny little charge taking off of something completely damning as a whole.
As far as I'm concerned, an Empire in Decline is one that refuses to follow its own rules. If we as a society think that this is an Abomination, we should fix the rules so that they don't see what they say. Courts that are allowed to charge anyone with anything regardless of what the law says and regardless of the fact have a name: kangaroo courts. They're generally considered a symptom of a broken society, and it's not that long until a lot of those countries end up with new leaders due to violent revolution.
