This isn't about the individual's entitlement, it's about the attitudes that surround the two crimes and the way in which said attitudes would affect the likelihood of his future employment. In the case of a nonce, there is absolutely fùck all chance that any club would re-employ him just because he said he wasn't guilty and was appealing - let alone a chance that thousands of fans would take up his case.

And yet, because it's rape, the attitudes are totally different. That discrepancy worries me not a little, since it speaks of some nasty underlying attitudes.
