Like you said yourself, many people have something against the porn industry. One thing that follows from that is that we, unfortunately, are all suspects. We can't get away with some of the things mainstream companies can get away with.
Now, imagine the person committing a sex crime again. Not unlikely, since 90% of sex offenders will do it again.
That could well get media coverage, especially when it si discovered the person has been working in porn. Would you like to be one of the companies involved in the following media scandal?
You *will* be suspected of being a cp person by many people for the rest of your life, you *will* receive death threats and the like and you *will* have major problems keeping your company alive.
Similar things have happened before, and it is not unlikely for them to happen again.

I already receive death threats....but....
you could say the same thing about any person convicted of any thing who's working in any industry. What about a convicted drug dealer who's out and working in the adult industry who gets busted again. Think people won't say "Well of course, it's the adult industry for ya and he was likely in cahoots with the people he worked with." What about the convicted thief, embezzler, bad check writer, etc etc. Any negative move anyone of us makes gets tossed on the group as a whole. There's no way to know who has what in their past. The businesses that reguire full background checks, do them. So far I haven't heard that the adult industry is one of them.
From what has been detailed on this board this guy did less than a year's time. I don't think your standard child molestor gets only a year's time. If it was sex with a 14 year old (now someone says 16 year old), I'm fairly certain there are some areas where that is a lesser crime. Not downplaying the act itself, but when I read the initial post, I envisioned someone who'd done several years in jail and just came out and began working in this industry...not someone who'd been in the industry, did a year's time, and is back.
btw.. in my area just a few days ago there was a 37 year old man arrested for molesting a 2 month old baby girl. He was the mother's fiance. Of all things.. the guy's father is the head of the state department of corrections.
