It's not about "drawling the line" - child sex offences are often "lifetime convictions" in that they don't come off your record (and for those in the public eye, would be impossible to shake in any case). Therefore they will often come up as part of criminal records checks, and if you have direct ties with felons of that nature, it could impact on you. Getting to the bottom of these ties is important, especially given that there are many alleged crimes he didn't "do his time" for or will face potential justice for. You can be friends with a convicted child sex offender, sure, but building close financial ties with (to the extent of essentially being a co-founder or co-host of a lot of different events) should draw some scrutiny, given there's an alleged pattern of behaviour that's been followed.
