It's not really an issue of mistrust so much as we're extremely careful about who watches our son anyway. We won't let my sister-in-law watch him and we won't let one of my sisters watch him either.
Aside from that, we brought the topic up to my friend once and he said he would rather not. Not from temptation, but that he's uncomfortable with the idea.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not attempting to justify anything he did in the past. Do I think he's changed? Absolutely! He's a gay man who was HARDCORE into drugs when the incident occurred. He is still gay, however he doesn't feel the need to "hide" himself in drugs anymore - he's become comfortable with himself. I should also say that his transgression was not physical. I'm not going to say any more because there's no point in getting graphic, but there was no physical interaction. He also, after the fact (about 2 hours later) called the mother as well as the cops. He turned himself in.
I digress...in answer to your question, the answer would be "no". Does that mean he shouldn't have the opportunity to prove to society that he *has* changed? I don't think so. I think he deserves that chance - but like I said, he's a minority IMO...
Cool..
