It's also worth noting that people change, and it was nearly 20 years ago. Also: if the prosecution had a solid child pornography case they wouldn't have plead it out to obscenity with a $100 fine. Also: the prosecution had to be okay with the obscenity charge getting expunged. So AFAICT, he served his pennance for the crime and it was expunged from his record. If the courts feel like the criminal record should be expunged, perhaps a better question is why don't you?
