Not if they've been released early, they haven't. And we're going to let this notion of "paid their debt" get in the way of the fact that child molestors cannot be cured, that their behavior will continue? If for whatever reason they released a serial killer after 10 years, would they have then "paid their debt to society"?
Furthermore, I think that if you rape someone or molest a child, a 10-year sentence really isn't repaying your debt to anyone, are they? Certainly not the child, who will live their entire lives with the shadow of this despicable act looming over them. If the punishment should suit the crime, we should be locking 'em up for life.
