No matter how spiritual I am or will ever be, I don't think I could treat a pedophile equally to others once I knew their history. Nor a rapist or serial murderer or wife abuser. To some extent I will always judge and judgement is a form of self protection.

And while AA is anonymous and people use first names, at the same time people do get to know each other. And with the sex registries and mugshot postings on the internet nothing that bad is a secret and it is that way for a reason. People get put on sex offenders registries so that other people can be aware and protect themselves and others they love.

I could see how being a sex abuse victim would lead me to find a different homegroup. I would recommend letting your gut and heart guide you on this one Heartcore.
