An employer large enough to be subject to anti-discrimination laws can not take arrests into account, ever. Employers can take convictions into account if they are job related. Small employers not subject to anti-discrimination laws can do what they wish.

Arrested is different from convicted. The question most employers ask is have you been convicted. The arrest if it is recent may show on background check. Arrested is not a "protected class" and in many states an employer maw or may not hire a person. There is no requirement for them to hire a particular person. Only that if they have two applicants that not disqualify one based on a protected class, age, sex, marital status, etc. Not a perfect system.. some states are starting to include those convicted of minor crimes as a "protected class" or are not providing information upon an employers inquiry. Very small companies do have some limited application of non-discrmination laws but they can still hire whomever they choose.

Uh...no. Not that i know of. It doesn't say anywhere that he is a peidophile and if he was he'd probably be arrested by now. EDIT: You won't get arrested by being a peidophile.
