Those read to me like admissions of guilt. I'd expect lawyers to strongly advise against writing such things.

Is he admitting to anything that's against the law as opposed to unethical?
IANL but insofar as sexual harassment exists within the context of a company with employees, my understanding is that his behaviour, while deeply immoral, is not illegal — he has admitted to being wrong, not to having done something illegal.
