Why should it be different for him?

There are already many limitations on Evans' work prospects as prescribed in law ,he will be on the sex offenders register for life and as such will be subject to "Regulated Activity" which basically means he can't work at hospitals ,schools or anywhere there will be vulnerable people .He's sentenced to more than 4 yrs in prison so his conviction will never be spent so he must always by law declare his conviction ,it will be upto any employer if they hire him or not .What you seem to be in favour of is imposing extra limitations on him or any criminal for that matter on top of the legally prescribed restrictions already in place after they are released and that is a very slippery slope in my opinion.
I myself employ an ex drug dealer he was sentanced to 9 yrs served 4.5 and i have never regretted it ,without me he would most likely have re-offended or simply be sitting on the dole for the rest of his life either way costing the tax payer fortunes instead of being a net contributor
