AMEN. I can only have so much sympathy here. You are flaunting this "offense" like it's petty. If it were ANY OTHER crime catagory, I might not even bat an eye.... but when people go out exposing themselves to kids, it makes me wonder what they haven't been caught for. I think you need to remove your post, be happy if you get work, and don't use the community for an issue that is so personal.

Come on, it's not like he was waving his todger at five year olds. Seeing a spot of unexpected nudity at 17 years old is not a big deal.

It seems like there are a few issues here:

(1) Has he experienced an appropriate amount of retributive / vengeful justice for his crime?

(2) Given his current state, what are the chances of additional, problematic offenses in the future?

IMO the prison time probably satisfied (1). So the real question is, how can prospective employers decide about (2) at this point?
