Reply to comment by PhillAholic in An Open Secret (2014) - A film exposing pedophilia and the sexual abuse of children in the entertainment industry in Hollywood. [1:38:22] by unknown_human

Reddit hired an admin whose father went to prison for kidnapping, torturing and raping a 10-year-old. She also married a man who writes paedophilic erotica.

This was public information, she even stood for office.

It's a bit more involved than that. You can't label people guilty by association, it's a fundamental principle of free countries.

However, in this particular case this admin - Aimee Channelor - used to be a minor politician in the UK, was a candidate in an election, and hired their father as campaign manager even while he was waiting to be tried for raping a 10 year old. So at the very least this Aimee Channelor made a massive error of judgement when hiring their campaign manager. For this they were booted out of the political party.

They they joined a different UK party - but got kicked out again when it came to light that their partner was publishing paedophile erotica.

Then Reddit decided that this Aimee was just the right person to be an admin.

Not only that, they assigned her to be responsible for subreddits aimed at vulnerable young people. That's definitely the sort of thing that should require a background check.
