I saw the resignation, and the statement, slightly differently, and it left me puzzled.

The single incident we know about in Michael Fallon's past is relatively minor on the scale of sleaze, and has been openly 'forgiven and forgotten' by the female journalist concerned.

Agreed, but it's those in their 50's and 60's that you have to really watch. Particularly when they go Doo Dah Lally in May.
