Sex offender working as a CFI

"Put in contact"? How are they supposed to avoid contact with children?

Off the top of my head, there are situations which can be controlled obviously (and some that cannot) but to that end of what can be controlled...... the person should not be allowed to live in close proximity of any school where children under the age of 18 attend, should not be employed/work where there is contact or possible contact with children under the age of 18, should never be willingly left alone with any child under the age of 18, should not volunteer with/for any organization where there are children under the age of 18. I can probably come up with more scenarios, but this is again my opinion. I don't believe that they should be put in situations where they have certain types of on going direct or private access to children. I wouldn't want to gamble with my own children, grandchildren or anyone's else children that the person will not re-offend or not be tempted to do so. It's too late if they do. And if they are "better/reformed '? That still is not a chance/risk that I am willing to knowingly take.

Edit: And to be clear, I am speaking of someone who with verifiable evidence and/or admission of guilt, is convicted of the predation/molestation and/or sexual abuse of a minor. Not someone pissing in their back yard.
 
So what is your point, JJ8Flyer?

You asked in the OP why he should be essentially allowed to fly as an active CFI (although, the question you really asked was if he should be "in a position of power over young adults", which begs the question of if he actually is or not), and you got the answer that there's not a legal reason why not, so far as the law or the FAA is concerned.

It begs the question if he is ever actually in an airplane with youth to begin with (maybe if he was exclusively a Young Eagles pilot or something, I could see the issue), but that's actually largely beside the point here.

If you don't want your kids, or your friends kids (or anyone else's kids that you have some influence over their activities), to fly with him, then don't let them.

There are folks who do stuff that makes me angry, too, but I don't make it my business to either waste much emotion on it or go out of my way to smear their name. If you feel like you want to do the superior dance, and point the Finger Of Reproach at him, and never let him get past whatever it was that he did, then go for it...but that's completely separate from him making his living instructing flying. The law is the law, and if he's not breaking it or any other rules that regulate the job he is doing, then I just don't see the point.

As in do not send them locked in an airplane thousands of feet in the air with a person who violently raped children.. not pass them at the grocery store. Wake up.

Hold on there partner. Didn't you ask a public forum for their opinion and then receive it?

Or were you looking for less discussion and more "YEAH! LET'S GO DOWN TO TEXAS AND GEEET EEEM?" :)

Do these genes make my butt look big? OMG, Freudian slip, I mean Jeans.
 
It's not up to you. If you're unhappy with the nature of release for those convicted of sex crimes, you should get involved in the process and push for the sorts of (Byzantine, bizzare, realistically unenforceable, potentially Unconstitutional ,IMHO) restrictions you suggest. But as the Law stands now, this dude has done his time (for whatever it is he did...I'd still really like to know how the OP got the information on the nature of the crime), and is a free citizen, just like you and I. Leave him alone.

One of my mothers neighbors ended up on "the list" when he urinated in his own fenced backyard and a parent called the police about what the children "might have seen" through the knots in the wooden fence.

It's mighty easy to get yourself on that list so Id be reluctant to generalize too much.

Truth! I'm not on the list, by the way, but some of the reasons for getting listed are really not that perverse.

Years ago some dude wanted to rent a room in this place I was living with my ex. As a sublet, we were able to uh "interview" him, and I suppose by some ludicrous law or another, he had to disclose his status as a "sex offender" to us. I've never seen a more abject and embarrassing moment. Guy had apparently gotten caught making whoopie with a 17 year old when he was 18. Her Pops didn't approve, and wasn't shy about using the Law to ruin this kid's life. Voila...he's a "sex offender" in perpetuity. Guy was obviously about as dangerous as a squirt gun. We turned him down, but only because a good friend of hers wanted to move in instead. Naturally, we told him this...I hope he believed it, poor bastard.

Now, I'm not saying that's the case for the OP's offender. I have no idea. He might be Hannibal Lector for all I know. But I'd still really like to know how all of the supposed details of this dude's crimes came in to the hands of our Caped Interwebz Crusader. I'm surprised no one has suggested burning him at the stake yet. Wait, where's Nancy Grace?
