But in the end, no. I don't think we should have an article on somebody who is in the end "famous" solely because, well, a group of sophomoric fucktards got their rocks off laughing at his appearance.
And in the end, I don't think we should *not* have an article on somebody simply because they have a serious disability which makes some people laugh at them. Equal rights, and everything, I say.
I also think your description of gross sexual imposition as a "minor technical offence" is terribly inaccurate. Maybe Peppers wasn't actually guilty of this offense (in which case the story is that much more important, by the way), but if Peppers was guilty of the offense I don't think it is minor.
Regardless of why Peppers is famous a lot of people want to know more about him, and in my opinion it is the job of Wikipedia to inform them about him, if for no other reason than to dispell the rumors spread by "sophomoric fucktards".
