I understand this topic may be somewhat tangential to the election mailing list, but I reviewed the list of voters in this year's DPL election and discovered that Jeremy Bicha is a Debian developer who cast a ballot: https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/leader2026/voters.txt
If you search up his name on Google, the very first result is his profile on Florida's Sexual Offender and Predator System, as he molested multiple preteen girls throughout the 1990's and confessed to all this in court. https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/sops/flyer.jsf?personId=85068 https://wng.org/articles/the-high-cost-of-negligence-1617309216 Being a child molester is most likely a violation of the Debian Code of Conduct, and if it is not, it is reprehensible enough to call into question his continued status as a member of the project. Additionally, there are two more important questions about Bicha's relationship with the Debian Project that have yet to be answered. Bicha was due to speak at DebConf25 last year, an event that children were permitted to attend. The livestream also experienced technical issues when his talk was about to start, leaving it unclear whether he actually spoke. The two questions are: 1. What factors led to the decision to allow children in the presence of Bicha? 2. Was Bicha's talk was canceled, or did it indeed take place but was simply never streamed? And a third question is begged: 3. Why hasn't the Debian Project cut ties with Bicha?
