Yes it is. The reason for telling the owner appears to be that you don't think the guy should be working there, even though he hasn't been convicted. So if you tell the employer, and the guy loses his job, it is clearly a result of your actions, so it is your responsibility. If he's later found not guilty, will you give him another job and compensate him for the lost earnings and defamation of character? If you think it's ok for people to lose their job based on hearsay, how will you feel when somebody decides they don't like you, and start telling your employer that you're a paedophile? -- Cheers, Bob
