So what should we do?

He should step down from the boards of the Media Lab and The New York Times. Far more information is provided in Ethan's resignation letter than in Ito's "apology":

I don't know about we, but he could do a lot more than a carefully worded apology. He knowingly took money from a man convicted [1] of child prostitution. The least he could do is resign.

We should demand that he both resign, and donate a large sum of money to organizations like International Justice Mission that fight sex trafficking.

To be clear, he has pledged to do the second already, sort of.
