Depends on the business and the conviction. E.g. if I’m sending cleaners into people’s homes, I probably feel a little wary if you stuck up a liquor store. Maybe don’t make a car thief a valet. That kinda thing.
Some dumb drug/gun charge, etc.? I probably wouldn’t care.
Sex crimes are a no-go across the board for me. Take that shit back to the White House.
Sex crimes can be very much a grey area going as far as to convict the victim. For example people that got convicted of child molestation because they were in a teen in a physical relationship with a partner their own age and got caught by their partner’s parents who ran to the police yelling that “my child is pure, innocent, and would never consent to such things!”
Or the person charged with indecent exposure because they were cooking naked not realizing that someone was taking a short cut through the back yard with a child who liked to peak into windows. If I recall correctly, the person was able to get the conviction overturned because they had a very good lawyer who argued the room was only visible from the land the home was on and the homeowner had clearly marked the area as private property. Even then, it was only an appeals court that listened.
I am not saying that most (or even many) sex crime convictions are not justified, but I would at least let someone explain themselves before I totally cast them off.
