Paedophile taking his kid to sports at weekend

Long story short information has come to light someone I know was convicted and imprisoned for paedophile charges, some 20 years ago (Information is verifiable)
Flash forward he now has a wife and young child and takes said child to sports clubs and matches at the weekend.
AIBU to think this is strange, and not want my child to attend said sports matches with him there? or am I over-reacting?

Surely he should be on the sex offenders list and his access to children should be controlled? What happens when a paedophile has children of their own? Are social services involved and risk assessments carried out?

I discovered today that offenders are sometimes on that list only for a limited time.

A Fife teacher has just been found guilty of sending inappropriate videos to teenage girls. He's been given community service and is only going to be on the register for a year.

And that's everything that's wrong with the judicial system and all involved in the process

Precisely. The judge said that it was at "the lower end of the scale". The teacher sent videos of himself to girls who had just left school. One was only 16.

From The Courier:

'He said Brown’s “career is at an end” and as a former world and European champion at his sport, he has now lost the ability to compete and is “ostracised”.
“He has already suffered punishment as a result of this episode”, he said.
The solicitor said Brown’s offending is “towards the lower end of the scale” when compared to other offences of this nature.'

As far as I'm concerned, a teacher, Police officer etc committing such offences ought to be treated more harshly, they can scarcely claim ignorance. They understand safeguarding, for a start.

Absolutely.

The defence for Brown appears to be that he accidentally offended - complete rubbish.

Accidentally. OK...

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.
