Whist I deplore what he has done (and I am thinking wider than him here) at what point in time do we (society) say that someone has paid their dues / done their time.

This happened 10 years ago - he's paid publicly / financially / socially and probably by every other measure... does he never get to truely move forward. All of us I am sure know people who have done bad things, made bad choices.

Don't get me wrong I hate what he did (I refused to play cricket with a player who beat his girlfriend) - just curious the thinking?

When he genuinely appears remorseful. When he apologizes directly to the victim. When he takes responsibility for his actions rather than blaming the relationship or the circumstances. When he uses his considerable wealth and influence (which got him a comparatively light sentence for the severity of the crime) to try and promote anti-violence campaigns and charities.

Everyone deserves a second chance but only once they've earned it.
