Depending on where you live, arrest or court records might be public - do consider though, an arrest doesn't mean someone did it. Frequently people are arrested incorrectly or the evidence is not found sufficient in court and society says they aren't guilty. If they are found guilty and are arrested, theoretically they have done their time to repay the moral or ethical debt.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

What is a chomo?
Child molester is my guess
Pdfile I think.
Why are people removing random letters and making things hard to read? =|
Self censoring to please algorithms and avoid potential flagging down the line.
They're trying to say pedophile.
It's prison slang. Quicker to say, and quicker to type here.
I wonder how long it takes to explain what it means every time someone asks.
A type of document?
Now I'm really confused.
Child fucker.
Bit rude, they were only asking a question.
Wtf if a ChoMo?
Cholo Moms, probably. Or child molester but 40% of the letters are wrong
Chode Monster
Slang for a Child Rapists or anything sexual with a child.
Only losers get on the registry... Real pedos rule country, owne corpos and the churches, and doj and FBI protects them from the peasants and justice. There is a club.
Billionaires appear to have the highest pedophile rates of any population followed by clergy.
That's only a thing in the US. Other countries don't make that info public.
If you are in the US, check your state's sexual/violent offender registry. It will vary state to state on what info is public and what crimes require registration. A conviction for cooking meth probably isn't going to require someone being registered as a violent offender.
So look their name up. I'm sure a criminal wouldn't ever give a fake name.
Because people who kill generally don't get released. Murder one or "Murder in the first degree" means premeditated and typically carries life/death sentences. Murder two is more like heat of the moment, you come home and find your wife in bed with another man... those carry sentences of a decade or more. Below that you're in manslaughter territory which is more like accident/extenuating circumstances and those people get years too.
Child predators get time, too, but they never get rehabilitated because there's no cure for it. They're always going to want to ruin some child's life, and they're going to want to do it a lot, to ruin several kids' lives. So there's a registry for them, and they can't live near schools, churches (ironically), day care centers, and such.
As for those asking what the term means, please do the community a favor and downvote people giving wrong answers trying to be funny. Chomo is street slang for child molester, and the word is derived from "homo." So the word "homo" makes sense, it's just short for homosexual. Put a C on it and the first sound is "Ch" like child. So it's someone who targets children. Never thought I'd see the term up here though. Guess Lemmy is getting popular.
