yeah people change but they don't really change their fuсking sexual attraction (unless you're abrosexual like me but i'm pretty sure that doesn't include pedophilia)
pedophiles are given so many second chances and still mess up, just look at people like danny
Yeah, I don't think those people should expect forgiveness from those they hurt.
But I'd vividly recommend to encourage the change, because some don't even bother to take the step.
