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.

Well, first of all, if it's about having sex with a consenting 14/16 year old, I do not consider this person a child abuser. Over here, that's not even illegal - even more, when I met my gf she was 14, now she is 16.
However, the problem I see is not one of legal nature, nor of ethical nature. The problem is the current witchhunt for "child abusers". Doing business with a drug dealer, thief or whatever might hurt your reputation. Being linked to a child abuser while being in the adult industry will destroy your reputation, quite likely not only online but offline as well. The media love stuff like this, and are quite happy to destroy a pornographer's life. That goes further than what I consider an "acceptable risk". So, people possibly doing business with this person simply have the right to know it, and then decide for themselves what they will do.
