Please read the article before commenting like this. You need to have more facts, as you noted that you "don't know anything about their personal journeys." It is certainly hypocritical to say one thing and then do another.

This man made a mistake as a boy and he and those who he harmed received a lot of help in order to overcome their problems. Should he be forever branded as a deviant for one mistake, which he has clearly worked on resolving in the ensuing years? Of course not. We're all imperfect, and we shouldn't kill the messenger simply because he's imperfect. We're all imperfect and if a microscope was put on our lives, I'm sure we'd all be called "hypocrites" in one way or another.

The point is that the ones who are branding this man as a hypocrite and an awful human being for one mistake years ago are quick to turn a blind eye on others' even more grievous mistakes, which makes them hypocrites for not applying the same standards to everyone.
