Are you sure it not just 2 people with the same name?
The sexual offenders database has descriptions (physical, racial) , home addresses, etc of the people, so the OP probably made sure. Has no one ever looked at this database?
The OP is talking about a hiring manager, whom decides who to interview, screens people, conducts interviews and reference checks, etc... also being a sexual offender whom managed to get such a prestigious title in a multinational corporation. This might be because the OP thought people with convictions could not get positions like this, or wonders what background checks really pull up, etc.
No one said sexual offenders can't work ever again or be a part of society ever again or live their life ever again. I love all the assumptions that are going on, though. Says a lot about those who are assuming.
He's probably a good worker and good manager and that's probably why he is in that position.
I'm sure because offender website has profile pictures.
I was just surprised because i didn't know that offenders can be promoted all the way to management. I have an officemate who had a really difficult time getting a job because of dui. Companies do background and criminal check before you get hired.
Besides what others have mentioned there are a few other things to consider.
One would be where the company is located. Not all states are equal on discriminating on convictions.
Example would be, If you were convicted of a felony in the state of Washington the background check can only go back 7 years for employment by law.
You can't ask if the potential employee was ever convicted of a crime.
In many states you are allowed to ask if they have been ever convicted. In some, there is a statue of limitation on asking that question.
Some companies also have internal polices where they limit themselves. Even in states that don't have a cap many employers hire outside companies that cap their look back at court records at 10 or 20 years. Anything older doesn't get reported back to the employer.
So you could have found someone with the same name, something like what I described above or a company who made the decision to hire him anyway with full disclosure.

It depends on the company. Most places can and do discriminate against those who have a criminal record, no matter how old that record is. It doesn't mean that this discrimination is ok. It's often very counter productive.
I guess it's better I found out after. I might have acted weird during the interview and he might have sensed it. I could have hesitated shaking his hands also.
