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.

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.

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.

Despite the crime possibly committed these people deserve confidentiality. 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.
