Without

Is this sentence correct:

1) He has done many misdeeds without resulting in punishment.


I think it has to be:

2) He has done many misdeeds that didn't result in punishment.


'1' doesn't seem correct to me.


Gratefully,

Navi

I agree. In (1), the logical subject of "resulting" is "he". For example, this would be correct: He has done many misdeeds without receiving any punishment.
