Why did you do this? Were these really the only two times you did this, or just when you got caught?

I don't know how you've been explaining these convictions to prospective employers, but, it seems likely to me that you're not being hired because employees deem it a risk that you might do it again.

If I was the hiring manager, I would be most concerned that this a repeat offense, which carries a higher risk of recidivism.

While arguably true, none of that is helpful.

What I mean is that he should consider how he's explaining these crimes to the prospective employer, and if there is perhaps anything different he can say to help put their minds at ease.

But the cards are stacked against him. As he flashed teenagers, from which I assume he didn't mean 18/19 year olds (otherwise he would have said so), that's a huge red flag that most likely will automatically exclude him from a large amount of professional employment.

As a hiring manager, I would also be concerned about the impact on female employees, who need to feel safe at work. The gender imbalance in tech, and dealing with inappropriateness from some male employees, is bad enough already - hiring known sex offenders doesn't help with this at all.

I don't say all this to be rude or judgemental, but to just be clear on how it will look from the hiring manager side. There's no point in providing false hope or platitudes. Unless he gets lucky with a company that's willing to overlook all this, he most likely needs to take a very different approach to employment than the one he's been trying.
