When we say that someone has done nothing wrong in his life, that he's innocent, maybe even saint, we Russian speakers say that he's white and fluffy (белый и пушистый). Mostly, it's used sarcastically. What English words or expressions could be used in this context?
 
"Pure as the driven snow" comes to mind.

:up: That's what I needed. Thanks.
