Paedophile taking his kid to sports at weekend

Sorry but I don’t believe that . Unless he was a repeat offender or had other convictions. In the U.K. that doesn’t happen . I’ve been in court ( professionally) and seen pedophiles getting licked for 2 and 3 years after abusing their grandchildren for decades . The U.K. has a vile decaying system when dealing with sexual abuse

But it is universally understood that the recidivism rate for sexual offenses is likely to be underestimated.

There are plenty of people in every neighbourhood who are pedos, get released from jail and just blend back into the neighbourhood or new neighbourhood, no one monitors them,and then they strike again,you have people on here saying you will ruin his life if you tell,if he lived local to them ,their response would be why weren't we told about him,leopard never changer it's spots.

How old would he have been 20 years ago and what exactly did he do? If he's on the sex offender register I can't see him being allowed to live with the child and mother. It could have been having sex with someone under 16 (he could have been 16 girl 15 but parents pressed charges) I would try to find out and wouldn't stop my child from going to sport just keep an eye on them as you should do anyway.

Paedophiles never change their spots. He will never be safe around children.

Because that's what happens to all peados they are put on a register

My neighbour was a child sex offender. He was a policeman of over 20 years service. His gf married him knowing of his offence and losing his job (he was caught before they married) she also had children DD10 DS 14 at the time. I informed her DDs primary school and sent links to the news articles.

Before his conviction my DSs spent time at their house playing and would go on dog walks with them. Fortunately they were not victims of him.

They continued to live next to me for years until he offended again and this time imprisoned.

In someways I was lucky in that I knew what I had living next door to me and I could protect my children from him.

Knowledge is power

If he’s a convicted sex offender, he will be on the register. The club has to check anyone who volunteers history against the register. They cannot just let him volunteer without doing check for a police record and if he is safe to work with young or vulnerable people. Letting the club know is irrelevant. They find out for themselves, rather than going on what might , in some cases, be malicious gossip

If he was 17 having sex with a 16 year then that's one thing, if he was touching children that's different. Is he still on the register?

Frankly, who gives a fuck about ruining the life of a deviant predator who distributed images of CSA? I would genuinely hope that every waking minute for anyone who does that kind of stuff is utter hell. There should be no consideration for any aspect of their life. Fuck him, and every single other dirty bastard who willingly ruins lives for their own perverted enjoyment.

I found out recently that a man I grew up with in the same street is a paedophile. He was a pillar of the community, did lots for charity and was supposedly happily married with 3 kids. Absolutely sickening, as he hid in plain sight. He was big into the football and when it came out about his paedophilia, the whole town turned against him. Vile creature. He moved area and is bitter now from what I've been told. I don't care about him, but rather the poor child's life that he has ruined. As soon as his wife found out he was a paedophile, she divorced him and moved her children away. He ruined his own life by his actions. No gossip ruined it for him. He did that by destroying an innocent child.

Yeah go out of your way to ruin his life before you know anything about it. How do you know what the situation is?
Informing every parent, I'm sure most ppl have better things to do than gossip & rally about someone else's life. If he weren't safe then he wouldn't be allowed to live with a child or go near a school.
I'm sure if OP knows, definitely the school does, everyone will, she's posted on here she doesn't seem the sort of person who is not going to tell ppl.

How do you know?

If this bastard has been in the paper for his crimes, it would be terrible if the news article suddenly surfaced again in your local area.

They can never change who they are.

You can't stop being gay. You can't stop being a paedophile.

I would be letting everyone know who he is and let everyone make their own mind up.

For a paedophile to even get prison time, it would have been significant. It would likely have been rape or sexual assault of a child. Or significant Cat A porn as a distributer.

How do you know?

Do you know for a fact it's true?

Do you know the details?

Do you think she knows?

Do the sports club/ school know?

Paedophiles don't change. It's part of their personality. They don't choose the attraction, it's who they are. It can't be rehabilitated as an orientation.

What they can change is their behaviour. They can choose to act on it - or not. But it's always going to be in there.

Not in my experience. I work in a school in a safeguarding role and we've had parents/step parents who have been convicted of offences and their Sexual Harm Prevention Order has not prevented them from collecting their kids from school or attending school events, for example. In these instances we've been told by the Police that "it's up to you as a school to do our own risk assessment" but that they have a right to be there. The SHPO normally says something along the lines of (I'm paraphrasing) they should avoid unnecessary contact with children other than contact that is part of their every day life, so something like picking up your own child from school or taking them to an activity would be seen as part of normal every day activity, but volunteering to go on a Scouts camp with a group of kids wouldn't be OK.

For eveyone saying 'peadophiles are everywhere', just remember, those of you who are parents of boys, you DS may well be one that's 'everywhere' when they grow up. And any one of those MNetters in the 'older' bracket, could be the parent of a paedophile, you just don't know it yet.
Given they are 'everywhere', the chances are high

No. He's served the prison sentence. That doesn't change who and what he is. There's no returning from or forgiving CSA no matter how many years pass.

@Gustavo77there is also plenty of information around that says they cannot be rehabilitated. Can you turn a heterosexual into a homosexual or a paedophile? Can you treat a homosexual and make them heterosexual? It was tried in all sorts of ways in the past and it doesn't work. Sexual preference is not chosen.

@Catcrazylady. There must have been more to it than that if he got 8 years. Statutory rape applies to 13 and under.

@StubbornStoolThis ⬆️

I was talking about official volunteers. No organisation should be allowing anyone, not even a parent, to be alone with children in their care, it’s against all the rules these days. I agree about your other points but that’s where we, as parents, need to stay vigilant and appropriately tell our children what is and isn’t acceptable. Anyone that’s deeply involved with a club should have parents asking the question, “ have they been police checked” regardless of it being a man or a woman!
