A detailed look at the verified case history of Raymond Casillas and the unconfirmed claim that he may have been placed in an LDS leadership position in Texas.
You are spot on Keith. Among those scriptures you already shared, 1 Tim 3:8-10 is pretty clear. The Lord judges but keeping someone out of positions that give them access to and authority over children or anyone else is wisdom, not judgement.
I understand the concern and it is a very challenging question. I guess I come back to Paul and his transgressions against the Christian Community. I’m glad I don’t have to make that decision!!
God can redeem anyone, the devil can corrupt any human. We do not have sufficient discernment to know for certain which is which. The risk is too great with too tragic consequences when we are wrong, so the answer must be “NO!”

Keith, I agree with you. It would be against Biblical principles to place someone with those issues in leadership.

Keep them as far from kids as possible.
