Yes, they should have expected it. Even so, PayPal might have done them a favor in this case. The owners seem a bit naive about the consequences of hosting child porn, and they are better off pulling that content in response to PayPal before being prosecuted for it.

Are they really hosting that kind of content, or is it just a rumour? I ask only because I've often seen people say that about 4chan/8chan, even though both sites comply with the law and remove cp as soon as it's reported.

I didn't personally see it. But given the subverses they shut down (/v/jailbait, /v/truejailbait) it seems likely that the rumor isn't far off the mark.

They did. I saw it because I didn't believe it at first, and a misunderstanding of the term jailbait. I wouldn't exactly call it CP. What I saw was a bunch of thumbnails of what looked to be later teenage years half naked selfies, not blatantly preteen child molestation.

That said, I left reddit hoping voat was better. If left because I just couldn't accept visiting a site allowing and defending content like jailbait and animaltortureporn. Hoping this place is better.
