People can and do change their views, certainly.

But when a 66 year old man says that he has now learned that sex with children is wrong, do you just wipe the past clean and forget that anything ever happened? Would it be wrong for those past views to have any effect, now that he's changed his mind?

I dont know what his age has to do with it.

And yes, I think we should not dig up old statements once he has announced he has changed his views: that's why I commented.

I understand those past views will linger on, I just dont think they are protayed fairly, nor that it is adequately considered that he has changed.
