>As long as you can show you have changed your mind, should nothing you have said before matter?

If changing doesn't have any benefits, would anyone change?

I'm not saying there should be no lasting repurcussions for such behavior, but when someone admits they are wrong, it should matter.

If admitting they were wrong doesn't matter, then it doesn't make any sense for them to do it.

I agree, it should always matter. How much it matters would certainly depend on things like that. So on that scale, it would take a lot more than "I've now learned that sex with children is actually wrong" before I consider that person redeemed. But that's just me.
