A: My interviewer has a serious legal offense charge, and I'm not sure the company knows. What should I do?

TheDemonLordThis may not be the professional answer - but I'd simply take along several print-outs of the court case, complete with Mug shot etc. and just physically hand that to whoever from the company that you meet and isn't the person in question.

On TWP, we focus on giving professional answers and advice, and I fear that this one is not professional (you even state so at the first sentence) and can't see the benefit or positive things OP will gain by doing this (I'm sure anyone with two brain cells will also condemn things like CP and molestors, I'm not arguing about that)
@DarkCygnus - But it is the morally right thing to do. Which in this case transcends Professionalism.
Perhaps, but even if it were, handling flyers like you describe would not be the best way to to that
@DarkCygnus - I think that's a semantic argument - whether it's a flyer, a conversation with HR, an email with a link to the public record - the net result is the same.
How is this the morally right thing to do?

@TheDemonLord with all due respect, it's not the same. Your answer literally says "I'd print mugshots and hand them to anybody I see in that company except this person"... that's quite different from, say, "a private conversation with HR", or "an anonymous email with a link to the public record"... anyways, I think I (we) are deviating a bit, so I'll refrain from posting comments that are not for what comments are for.
@DarkCygnus - Perhaps it's cynicism on my part - but a Bombshell like that I doubt would stay confirmed to HR for very long. Hints might be dropped etc. Besides - the person in question can't sue for loss of reputation. The net result is the same - the people in the office know what they did and likely lose their job
This is the same awful "reasoning" people used to discriminate against many "undesriables" through the centuries. And by undesirables I mean here racial/sexual minorities, becuase it "was the moral thing to do". Just no, this answer has no place here, leave criminal justice system to handle the crime parts, and if they seem it fit to release the person, leave them be.

@Kilisi - again, perfectly sound suggestions.
@AidaPaul - Why are you trying to conflate an illegal act on a child (incapable of consent) with sexual minorities?
@TheDemonLord You've brought that slippery slope of using your personal moral judgement instead of criminal justice system, wanting to be judge, jury and an executioner yourself. This is exactly the same logic that people use to discriminate, and if it used at some other group (not convicted felon) makes you feel uncomfortable then you should revisit your views. If you disagree with the penalty the person received, feel free to raise it via proper channels - the justice system.

@AidaPaul - Not at all - You are trying to conflate two massively different issues - and I'm asking why. And to be clear - the only time I've heard such an attempt at a similar comparison is by people who engage in apologia for one of the most vile crimes - That is the only thing I find uncomfortable in this exchange. So I ask again - why are you trying to compare the two?
08:22
@TheDemonLord No, I am not, despite you saying that 3rd time. You want your morality to stand above the justice system, a slippery slope I have no interest in indulging for even a second. Wait, edit, did you just suggest i am tryinng to excuse thoe crimes? Yeah, blocked, done.
@AidaPaul - you picked the comparison not me. There are other crimes you could have picked, but that isn't what you went with. I find that suspicious - and for a good number of reasons. A Consensual act between two adults is not the same as something done to a child (who definitionally cannot consent). As for my Morality - you should look up the limited public polling as to whether they support tougher sentences for that sort of Crime. Florida for example.
@TheDemonLord You're clearly missing the point, either deliberately or otherwise. Clearly Aida is suggesting that vigilante justice has been used to discriminate against people, and that we have a justice system for a reason.

@TheDemonLord And further to that, even if 100% of people polled want tougher sentencing, that doesn't give you a right, either legally or morally, to act outside the justice system. If you can't understand why intuitively, then I'm not sure it can be spelled out to you.

This answer misses the point of the sex offender registry. The point is not to black list a person so that they never are able to hold a job for the rest of their life but to ensure that companies and organizations that work with children and vulnerable people do not hire these predators.
