It's best for all involved to limit their participation in the church.
Agreed. If a sex offender has truely repented of his past wrong, he will NOT put himself in danger of a relapse or even a false accusation. In short, if he has really repnted, he will NOT seek any position to be around potential victims.
If he tries to be around potential victims (for example. wants to be a youth counselor) , that, in and of itself, is a major red flag.

Legally when you commit certain crimes you give up certain rights. The onus is on him to find a church. IMO.
