OK I have a bad memory she didnt pardon a child molestor she actually blocked a search warrant and refused to prosecute a serial child molestor who had over 200 victims. They went to Rick Romley and got the warrant signed and the guy ended up getting convicted. I could not find anything except an article from the liberal republic basically defending her position...

"Despite the fact that James Moore had sexually molested 200 boys, then-U.S. Attorney Janet Napolitano refused to get even a search warrant. . . . Janet, this isn't about the rights of child abusers, this is about protecting our children."
"The television commercial uses an ABC 20/20 report from 1996 as its source and claims Napolitano refused to sign a search warrant because she felt a U.S. Postal Inspection Unit investigation into child pornography was targeting homosexuals. "
"Napolitano said her office never intended to let Moore go free but that then-Deputy U.S. Attorney Mary Murgia wanted more evidence to show probable cause of a crime before signing the warrant. Postal investigator Karyn Cassatt was upset by the refusal and went to Romley's office, which granted the search warrant."
She also wants to make homsexuality a protected class which is bullshit.

Janet Napolitano has lobbied the state legislature to expand civil rights laws to include homosexuals. Do you think the State of Arizona should ban discrimination based on sexual orientation in the same way it has banned discrimination based on race or sex (i.e., for employment, health benefits, housing, and education)? Should the State of Arizona extend health insurance coverage for its employees to cover "domestic partners" in addition to family members, as is proposed in legislation currently before the legislature?

I strongly oppose both of these measures. I am the only candidate with a record of standing up to the bullies in the homosexual lobby. When Reggie White, the former Green Bay Packers’ football star and Christian minister, criticized the homosexual rights movement for comparing itself to the civil rights movement, the homosexual lobby and liberal media assailed him and cost him multimillion-dollar contracts and endorsements. I defended Reggie and his remarks in an article in the Wall Street Journal (an article which, according to Reggie’s agent, helped to shut down the criticism). Reggie and I later became friends and wrote a book together.
Both of my Republican opponents refused to answer these questions when I raised them in a prior debate, and when a reporter with the Arizona Daily Star subsequently asked them. I hope they will answer them now.

I support families and will oppose measures that undermine marriage. "Sexual orientation" is not a protected class under the federal civil rights laws and I believe Arizona should not go beyond the federal law. While I do not personally favor "domestic partners" legislation (it’s very expensive for the employer), that gets into policy-making better left to our legislators. AG candidates should remember that our role is legal and that most policy making should be left to the people’s elected representatives (i.e., the legislature).

No. We need less, not more government.
Without knowing the specific details of the bill you refer to, my answer is yes on the general question of health insurance coverage for domestic partners and their dependents. Private businesses and government employers should have the ability to provide health insurance to all of their employees and dependents regardless of their sexual preference.
