Even if he was it wouldn't matter in this case. Employers aren't held responsible for what their employees do in this kind of situation. Wal-Mart could hire a convicted murderer and if that person went and murdered a person at home on their own time, you think the victim could hold Wal-Mart accountable for hiring him? Of course not.

The cases of the pizza driver hurting a customer, someone harming a co-worker, etc are different because the person was acting within the scope of their employment or otherwise acting within a situation that they were in as a direct result of their employment. If Taylor beat up a teammate at practice or went after a fan during the game, then these internet sleuths might be on to something.
