It is, of course, possible to be guilty of one thing and not guilty of another. I know a chap who was convicted for a particularly farcical robbery attempt; he's guilty, no doubt, and it wasn't a victimless crime. But if I wandered around this evening and kicked him in the face, he'd be pretty justified in considering himself an innocent victim of my mindless assault.
I don't see how Peppers being convicted of something means we should help people kick *him* in the face because they feel like it.
I'm not advocating that we kick Peppers in the face, I'm advocating that we provide information about him in Wikipedia.
...why? Wikipedia is not a registry of sex offenders. We're an *encyclopedia*. Being convicted of a crime was not, last I checked, even remotely near any sensible threshold for inclusion...
Yes, we have "more of a right" to provide information about him than about some other people... but that doesn't mean we need to, or that anyone would be well-served by us doing so.
