The same could be said of a sex offender or a murderer, or someone who had crashed his car, killing someone else.
But what has to be considered - and social media demonstrates this well - is society is capable of a moral and honest indignation against people who don't appear to have learned from the past.
If you commit a crime, do your time and bugger off to live a worthwhile life without doing something inappropriate, then you are entitled to live without scrutiny from the public and media. I'm not a fan of people posting notices of "the sex offender in your neighbourhood" because convicted sex offenders have to live somewhere.
But if a convicted boy racer, who has injured someone, goes out and buys another hot rod five years later, society will react with indignation because it appears that person has not learned from the punishment.
It's a basic truth that the best way to escape scrutiny is to keep your head down and watch what you say. Because it is also often the case that a person's nature - including sex offending or violence towards women - doesn't go away completely.
A judge may have sentenced you, and you might have served your time, but society is watching - and will judge you again.
