My coworker and I have worked together for 5 years. I considered him a close friend at work.



He's middle-aged, married with kids, goes to church, conservative. His personality is a bit shy and awkward.



Two women at the office (who no longer work there) had mentioned he seemed creepy. I dismissed it and said they were overreacting and he was harmless.



Now I feel dumb because I recently found out he is a registered sex offender and on parole for 10 years for molesting a 7 yr old girl. I was bored one day and googled him. Dug deeper and found the court documents. I've lost sleep over it.



We work in a professional environment with no children.



I'm fairly certain my company does not know, and I have not told anyone. I'm having a hard time dealing with this and no longer want to work around him.



I catch him looking at my breasts or another woman's body and it grosses me out. He sat in my office the other day and did that thing where he opened and closed his legs real fast almost like to stimulate himself, and I felt sick to my stomach. Occasionally, I change in the bathroom after work to jog at a nearby park and he locks the front office door when I go to the bathroom and "helpfully" meets me at the door to unlock it, the whole time staring at me in my shorts.



He's never done anything blatantly inappropriate, and I'm sure my perceptions of him and our interactions are now tainted by the knowledge of his past, but there is something off about him.



I'm almost tempted to anonymously report him to management as I'm pretty sure the company does not know. Somehow, I think this will make me feel better but I don't know. How do I move on from this knowledge?

I recently found out my coworker is a registered sex offender - plead guilty to molesting a 7 yr old girl. How do I get over this?
