You need to ask Jeff to delete this thread. Even though you’re not in the DC area there is a TON of identifying info on this thread. If I had the energy, I could figure out what kid you’re talking about in less than an hour of searching. Your friend will find this, and it will hurt her. Get this deleted immediately.

agree
please, "mental illness" is a lame excuse
pedophilia is disgusting
pedophiles are disgusting

From what you have provided most people could easily figure out who they are, at least anyone who happens to know them could.

Pedos absolutely do not deserve confidentiality or anonymity.

Wrong. In the United States, defendants are innocent until proven guilty.

Now go ahead and shriek PEDO!!! or PEDO RAISER!!! like an unhinged loon at me because you don't like facts.

This and she’ll be lucky if rest of family is not also implicated. I’d not bail my child out. I would see if there were ways to provide therapy and secure a therapist for myself. Sadly I don’t think you can truly rehabilitate a pedophile. They have rewired there brain to horrific stimuli, and should be monitored for life.

I’d struggle with this friendship if she was trying to keep him out of jail.

There isn't, if you don't bail them out. Having said that, I wouldn't have bailed him out if he were my kid and there was evidence for that charge.

Honestly, he’s not my favorite person. He is a lifelong functioning alcoholic, a misogynistic and generally just loud and abrasive. My friend is very introverted, possibly even meek. Do I think, or did I ever think, he was a pedophile or had ever/would ever abuse a child? No. I never got their vibes at all. But I also would have never thought their son would grow up to be the person he is today. He truly has everything going for him as a kid.

The kid was spoiled rotten. Mommy make excuses for every bad behavior. Kid got “bailed out” all his life. This is extreme parental neglect. I’d put all three of them in jail.
OP should not engage with this criminal family until the criminal parents allow their criminal boy to sit in jail where he belongs. But that of course that will never happen because mommy would rather die than let her baby boy suffer any discomfort.

And I'm sort of floored that it took this long for someone to say this.

I'm not defending what OP's friend's son is accused of having done, but isn't it at least possible that he's innocent? OP should at least allow for this possibility, rather than breaking a friendship because the friend's son has been accused of doing something horrible.

And, yeah, there's nothing here that wouldn't be public information or generally known among friends and neighbors in OP's community. So, no reason not to post it.

Please explain how he could possibly be innocent when his computer is full of child pornography…

Let’s not be stupid here. If you were raped by your husband’s friend, would you be ok with your husband saying “well lalala he’s still innocent, so he can come stay at our house?”

There is a history of this sort of material being planted on unsuspecting people's computers.

Sure, it's unlikely. No, I'm not defending anyone involved in illegal activity. But we shouldn't make judgements about this particular individual as long as there is a nonzero possibility that he is innocent.

This stuff is a federal crime with like a 99 percent conviction rate. But OK. Let’s play sophomore year philosophy major regarding a person who OP had already said is screwed up, drunk and mentally ill.

What is your problem? You feel the need to police an anonymous forum with posters throughout the US. Are you threatening to out any poster that triggers you with your internet sleuthing skills? Get a life.

+1 this is the mentality of saying smoking has not been proven as a cause for cancer.

She has every right to bail her kid out. HE will be torn to shreds in jail. Don't think less of her for that.

In your shoes, I would support a real friend. I would set boundaries, though. Not talk about the son. In the sense she should not seek validation from you that he's a good person. But can you be a shoulder to lean on? She's more a victim than an enabler, IMO. He had that **** in her house.

I feel genuinely sorry for the friend. I guess I can understand why they felt they needed to bail him out to keep him safe. But I would not want to have anything to do with the son or want to hear her defend him.

When I saw this, I thought CP was cocaine possession.

I is stoopid.

Op, i want you to know this occurred with my brother and parents. I may be back to talk more. Don’t want to get into it now, but our family experienced this, and I’m here.
