I would have to ask what the misdemeanor was for exactly. For example I can see where a developer might get access to a system they shouldn't but technically be called trespass. I can see where a web developer might have the same situation. Access granted by some back door ( not theirs ) that caused a technical trespass.
If they were caught manipulating their access privileges to cause trespass then no, I probably wouldn't. Why? Because how do I trust them?
I am fully aware that most developers leave themselves a back door, and that's their *insurance* for times when they might need it ( ie being accused of a crime they didn't commit ) but to do so for the specific purpose of trespass or theft, then it would be very very hard to trust them.
And trust is one of the main things you need to have with your IT staff.
If you can't trust them your business is an open door to anything ......
