If he gets a long term sentence rises to a place of respect in the system to have a ministry, yes. Do you know what usually happens to these guys in there? I have known a correction officer or two that work in the prisons and it is not a pretty picture once these guys are exposed. Your scenario might not even be realistic given the odds of survival.

Generally speaking child molesters and divorcees are not placed into ministry by the UPC even if these things went on before conversion, right?

The theory is that there is too much risk involved to place a former molester in a position of authority.

So would the UPC work with this guy at all if he "sees the light" and starts to minister in prison? The risk isn't there.

(I realize that he was living a double life, and is seen as a deceiver and spiritually unstable, but hypothetically speaking)
