Future behaviour is the test of sincerity. The onus is upon the individual, not society, to prove they are reformed by behaving like decent people do. They can remain closet perverts for as long as they like for all I care but if they exercise their predilection, they can expect an extended stay in the slammer. Rapists and other serious offenders, for example, are monitored for this very purpose.
