Thanks for your post - while I disagree on the resemblance (I wouldn't have posted it otherwise), you seem to be right that this Brent seems to have been around for a while before the EA community's Brent, and this therefore likely isn't the same person.
Thank you for spotting this - false allegations are incredibly dangerous and I'm glad you provided convincing evidence in the other direction.
Do we have a sense of how we would respond as a community if we did in fact find that our Brent were in a new scene? Do we actually know that he isn't causing harm wherever he currently is? You mention rumors about where he is - is that knowledge that might be harmful to withhold? The community has already had enough sexual assault incidents in the past 5 years - we don't really need someone that was not properly dealt with harming people in another community and blaming it on EAs.
