I have no insight into the person that Sutton is today so I can not say if it was a single act he would never repeat or an act he would do again if he could. More importantly, I have no desire to get to know Sutton well enough to make that distinction. There are some acts people commit which will forever change my opinion of them. Lack of forgiveness and an unwillingness to look past those transgressions are my personal flaws. And ones I am okay with.

There is nothing special about Sutton for me. Some have felt motivated to get to know him better and I can see where a pro triathlete would have such a motivation. Personally though, there are over a million sex offenders in the world. I don't have the time or inclination to get to know all of them and I don't have any reason to get to know any particular one. I don't hate Sutton any more or less than I hate any other sex offender. When it comes to child molesters, I find them all equally despicable.
