This is a serious question from someone who is not a defender of any kiddy fiddler anywhere, but at which point, after his sentence ended, should someone remain being vilified even though there is no evidence of doing that for which he was punished in the first place?
Now I realise that we can never know if there is paedo porn residing on his computer at this very moment, but there is no evidence of him uploading paedo porn to commons, there is no evidence of him grooming anyone (it seems to me that Commons would be a lousy choice of venue to do that anyway given that there is so little user interaction compared to en.wp).
I also realise that someone who has once been convicted for possession of paedo porn isn't to be trusted, ever. But having said that he does have rights (only because the crime he was convicted of doesn't remove them from him).
What I think I'm trying to say, is why vilify him rather than keep him in plain sight where he can be monitored, rather than to push and push, force him away, only to come back as a sock who is now under the radar.
My own personal opinion is that known kiddy fiddlers should be forced to use their own real names, should have an admin or two monitoring them all the time and should not be allowed to upload porn of any sort.
What I don't believe should happen, at least not in Beta M's case, is form them to be run out of town instantly. Beta M served his time and got deported. He was punished. That should be the end of it. At least until the next time, which I don't believe will occur on Commons.
What I do find slightly alarming though is the fact that he was done for having paedo porn on his computer and for distributing said porn, but only 37 images were found. Usually true paedos will have literally 1000s of images. I get the impression that this guy is an experimenter, rather than a true kiddy fiddler. He's searching for the next sexual 'high'. This is quite obvious looking at his images on that other website.
Anyway, I'm rambling now...so how long should he be punished for after his sentence is complete?
