This came up from when I read of an Australian Football League player who was well respected as a player, but a decade after retirement, was convicted of stalking his ex, or some such. Yeah, that is pathetic, but should it take away from his sporting career?
Rurouni Kenshin was one of my favorite childhood anime. It tells a story about an manslayer who swore not kill again and achieved redemption by helping people. A few years ago author of Rurouni Kenshin was caught. It turns out that he had children porn or something nasty like that. I still like him as an artist even if he is despicable as a person. Still it is interesting that a person who told a story about redemtion would fall like this...
