Would you mind your own business or would you mention this to the common clients? On one hand you would be doing the right thing out of concern for your clients but on the other hand....Would you want people to think you were making shit up to get rid of the competition?
One more "hypothetical" thing.....
What if this particular photographer also has a history of sexually assaulting models and has changed his name and company names multiple times over the years to hide who he really is?
Gee...I'm sure glad I don't have to make any kind of decisions like this...But what if?
What would you do?

I would hope you would do the right thing. This photographer is an example of why we have all these restrictions now. There are plenty of models 18 and over, no need to recruit minors. I would inform the common clients. You would be saving them a lot of trouble in the long run. This is not that Mike Smith guy is it?
