It doesn't make them hypocrites at all. Far from it Doughhead. Just because someone committed the act of adultery doesn't mean they think it was right. Excellent point. If somebody once got a ticket for drunk driving (no, it wasn't me!) would they now be a hypocrite for having learned from that and saying that drunk driving is wrong? Gosh, even I, perfect as I am, am willing to admit that once in my life I did something I now view to have been wrong. (No, it wasn't adultery, my wife doesn't have that to worry about. Maybe it was jaywaking -- anyhow, I ain't saying, since I was never caught or prosecuted!) Doing things in one's youth that one later realizes was wrong isn't called hypocrisy, it's called growing up!
