Haven't been through it and feel for you. But they can't hold you responsible for their actions. Just like the bad guy who goes to prison, yes stigma there, but it is not you and it looks like you are one of the good guys as proof of being an instructor. One thing to do to make sure someone doesn't bring it up or try to undermine you is to make mention of it the first day, and remind them you are not them and that it is better to be a good guy or be a poacher!
