I don't think the records should ever be scrubbed. That said though, I think that once someone is out of prison and has gotten through a probationary period, they shouldn't have to report felony convictions to employers and they should get back all the rights they lost while in prison. That doesn't mean that if they get picked up for another crime, a complete history of their criminal convictions shouldn't be available to the courts or that it shouldn't be taken into account for future convictions.
And so the child molester gets a job a your children's school. When discovered the horrible way (when they re-offend) you'll be one of the crowd asking why they hired a child molester that had done this before.
