We know that our holy Torah stands for proper behavior, and is strongly opposed to actions like what you describe. The phenomenon of people who have engaged in improper behavior, going squarely against the teachings of our great rabbis and tradition, yet then turning around and demanding assistance from the community when they get into trouble is not new, unfortunately. Yet, just because they make a loud campaign doesn’t mean that it is in order. The question is a halachic question. Recently it was discussed at a leading Torah website, see here
sorry, no outside links
Many years ago there was a case of someone with a yarmulka who had engaged in improper business practices, causing a great chillul Hashem, and they sought to have someone connected to the Washington Heights community help him, so he shouldn’t end up in jail (something like that, I don’t recall all the details). Whereupon Rav Shimon Schwab zt”l said something like, let him stay in jail, he is a ganav!
The Torah is not a free get out of jail card for people who have engaged in improper activity. The Torah is a stay on the right side of things, protection from trouble code for those who follow its teachings and stay on the proper path.
