If I were honest,the answer is no. I wouldn't hire him.
If it's MY business, I need all the customers I can get. You just know when ONE person in the neighborhood finds out; EVERYONE WILL KNOW. I would lose a lot of business, and be seen as a harborer of criminals (even though he's paid his debt to society).People don't care about that. They don't care about the severity of your crimes, or that you have paid for your crimes, all they'll ever care about is that you did SOMETHING bad, and you are now a monster.
But there is also something else going on now-a-days, which makes me question my own answer of, 'No'. Like a man at my husbands work, he is 21-22 years old, and he had a girlfriend that was a couple months shy of her eighteenth birthday. Her parents loved him, and they didn't have a problem with him dating their daughter. The two were caught messing around in a car together, and even though the parents didn't press charges, the state did. In California, our legal age of consent is eighteen. He was found guilty, and is classified as a sex offender.
Mothers of sexting teenage girls, whose girls are stupid enough to send naked pictures out, are also pushing for High School boys caught with any kind of photos of girls under the legal age of consent in any state of undress/nudity (breasts, bum, etc) to be labeled sex offenders as well. Even if the image(s) were sent to them by someone else, and was going to be immediately deleted. Because they want to blame the boys, the schools, and the phones; not their children or their lack-luster parenting skills. So instead of realizing that this may be their child's fault, or theirs, they'll destroy teens lives and careers, before they even really start.
It's hard to make a decision with ZERO information to go by about this person.
So with all that said
(really guilty or not, I have to go by what the law says unless it's expunged from his record):
1.) If he refuses to tell me the severity of his crime - then, the answer is, no.
2.) If he was caught with children-children, (i.e. toddler-15), the answer is, no.
3.) Forceful rape of an non-consenting woman,man, or child. - the answer is, no.
4.) If it is the same situation as the young man at my hubbies work - then, yes.
5.) If it's a young guy that was caught with a pic of a 17 year old sexter - then, yes.
Argh, so many factors play into this, it's maddening.
