It is odd perspective....It’s strange seeing a map of people that are evil.

From lbj to the clintons, guess if you’re a democrat and got connections, you’re never going to jail.The amazing thing to me is that all these folks that would do the crime to get their kids in a certain school are going to jail, getting fired, etc. YET the DOJ and the FBI did not think that Hilary and Bill needed to go to jail
Remove contact with him. The guy took advantage of a child’s innocence.What would others here have done?
'Zactly!!Over the years, I've discovered a few criminals among friends.
Pretty simple.
Drop them.
I owe zero loyalty to criminals.......
I agree with this. Drugs, such as meth, turn people into paranoid liars. I lost a friend to meth. Once I found out, that was it. No point in trying to rationalize if I could trust anyone like that. He’s forever a criminal and thank god he got caught. His friends found out after his arrest. We were all shocked. Keep that shit off the streets.I owe zero loyalty to criminals.......
I would probably have done what you did. However, there could be mitigating circumstances. Since it was long before you met him and the victim was 10, how old was he? If he was 12 or 13, that might change things.He was a registered sex offender
(10 yo girl vic) from long before I had met him.

Just for the record, folks should not get upset when they look at those sex offender mapping apps. Depending on the location, those offender registries can show 90-year-olds who were issued a ticket for soliciting another man back in the 1950s, 16-year-olds who have been convicted of creating child porn where the victim was themselves (i.e., they took nude photographs in their bedroom mirror), people caught in possession of common-in-Japan cartoons of certain genres, and even folks convicted of public lewdness for pissing behind a bush when the line to the porta potties was too long.Holy crap...I’m looking at the pedo finder app and the whole metroplex is a sea of red.
Late 20s at time of offense.I would probably have done what you did. However, there could be mitigating circumstances. Since it was long before you met him and the victim was 10, how old was he? .
Yep, that's bad.Late 20s at time of offense.
Incredible he didn't do any real time, but that was back in the 80s.
Yeah theres no possible justification.Yep, that's bad.
When I was in high school, all the girls wanted college guys for boyfriends. When I was in college, middle school girls were commonly spotted at college parties. Given that background, I'm more tolerant than most of age differences that would get guys put in jail these days.
But even I'll say without equivocation that a guy in his late 20s who spends time with a 10-year-old girl is deeply immature just for spending time with her. If he touches her, he's a criminal.
Creeper. Simple as that. He wants to hang with a 10 year old girl when there’s girls his age or older probably willing to mingle? Nah man. Dude knew what he was doing.Late 20s at time of offense.
I cut myself off from the friend of a friend when I was about 19. He had just gotten out of prison and he wouldn't talk about it until one night when he got drunk, starting thinking about the time he wasted behind bars, and got angry. He was innocent, he said, and it was all a set-up that he was ever convicted. To roughly paraphrase the sentence that told me what I needed to know about him: "They called it illegal sex because she was retarded but I tell you, man, she enjoyed it as much as I did."He never discussed it of course
