been mentally running through a few scenarios
It's not a bad question and a really thoughtful framing.
I would like to see Leslie eventually recover from her resentment and anger at Robin. Not that they aren't fully understandable or in any way unjustified, only that it would be better for her to get closure. It would help a lot if Robin admitted how much she had screwed up, preferably in a more direct way than the one she just did.
I don't know. It's as if 'sex pest' is too vague. There's degrees of it. Roz is arguably one by implicating campus and Danny's foot in her exploits even if they are done for a politically reasonable purpose. Jason is one for involving himself in a relationship with a student. Joe is one for being... well, Joe. And his list. Robin is one for all the crap she put Leslie through. But these examples do not seem to me to be equal to one another.
Still, it is at least a useful term as it (in Robin's case, maybe only barely) stops short of being an actual predator. None of the above come even near Ryan and his attempt to drug Joyce.

Robin no longer wants to be a Sex Pest, she wishes to be a Sex Pal

She never actually said she wouldn't hire him tho (other than the money thing), nor that she wouldn't help him. She posed a question to Ruth who took it as a no. I think it was Leslie thinking it out, much as Robin is (surprisingly) doing here, asking herself as much as Ruth, and she hadn't come to a conclusion.

I expected nothing less after she sent Ryan packing. I presume it would also depend what KIND of sex pest - I would immediately ask "Define sex pest" but that's me.
Also, Leslie....how trustworthy would you be if you helped get the guy you refused to hire because it'd make you untrustworthy find a job at your same institution? I only thought of that looking back over that conversation.

Broke into Leslie’s house with the intention to use sex to get her support, vote, and housing.

How else are we do build up expertise for sex-biological warfare?!

I think no matter which universe she's in, Robin will start out as scummy, and then have a transformation to less scummy, and eventually serviceable human being.
