so someone I know came to me and told me about my friend's past, they said he basically groped and molested a young boy and did sexual acts with him, I won't go into detail since I want to remain anonymous but what should I do?

I feel very disgusted but he doesn't know I know this, the authorities already know about this and looked into it, I don't feel comfortable still being friends with him (especially as a big brother, I care a lot about our youth)

>>33243940 (OP)
I think you know what you want to do you are just asking for permission to do it

Been in the exact same situation. Found out a friend was on the register for some shit he did with boys when he was younger. If you really do care about this person, let it be. If not, cut contact. You don't need to let him be around kids, but nothing wrong with being friends with him if he's someone you value. Fuck what your normalfag friends think about it.

>>33244032
I promise I don't know what you're talking about
>>33244058
Yeah, I've thought about it and I don't want to leave him alone, I know he's been to a psych ward and has been seeing therapy for a while now so me leaving would probably do a lot of harm to him. But, how am I just supposed to forget what he did y'know? I feel like I can't ever see him as my "friend" anymore, just someone who happened to be my friend in the past. My friend wouldn't have done the things he did, it's like he's not the same anymore.

Like i said, really depends on how much you really consider him a friend. Dudes on the registry don't have an easy life to say the least. I can see what you're saying about what he did, but that mainly just comes down to whether or not you think he's repentant and has turned away from that shit. I don't even mean repentant in a religious way, just that he's turned from that shit. Also worth keeping in mind that there's usually their own abuse behind it. He never said it outright, but i'm pretty sure my friend was abused by his dad.

It ultimately comes down to you. No one would blame you for not wanting to be around a molester. It's a shitty cycle, but it shouldn't be encouraged. It really just comes down to what your gut is telling you.

More than anything, stay safe. As shitty as it sounds, these sorts have gotten by by being habitual liars. Manipulation is just what they know.

>>33243940 (OP)
I don't care who it is, if I found out someone I knew diddled kids I'd make them bite the curb abd swallow their teeth.

Pedos get the rope.

>>33244171
You wouldnt do shit, pussy

>>33244178
Spoken like a true MAPfag, go back to your loli shit and stay out of the sunlight freak.

>>33244157
I see, thanks for the help anon. I think I'll try to distance myself from him slowly, I just don't want "that" in my life personally, I hope he manages to right his wrongs someday though

>>33244171
>>33244185
>tough guy posting on 4chan
idgaf what the topic is, this isn't reddit.

>>33244178
you will never be a real woman pedonigger

if you're christian you should still be their friend. otherwise... they probably don't even like you that much

If he actually fucked a minor I'd just drop him. Doesn't matter what his reason is. People who fully act on that shit aren't people you'd want to be around.

If it's just him jerking off to some pics online then yeah that's a weird gray area of personal opinion and preference.

If your friends told you he's a pedo and you haven't actually confirmed anything other than their word then you're a fucking fagot.

>>33244315
>If your friends told you he's a pedo and you haven't actually confirmed anything other than their word then you're a fucking fagot.
No I just mean, he hasn't told me but it's comfirmable at this point. You see he stopped coming to this thing we went to and it turned out the kid he was fooling with was the owner's son which is why he stopped going years ago. He never told me why but he always danced around it when I asked him. I know he's struggled a bit with mental illness but him being gone for a while for being in a ward makes a lot of sense now that I think about it.

>>33244346
Unless it's 100% confirmed he fucked a kid then you're being a fucking fagot. Don't take the words from others as fact and start misstrusting someone over some bullshit, specially since you haven't even talked to them about it.

>>33244371
I can't say much here anon since I don't want to leak anything that can be identifiable but it is true anon. It isn't just my friends who've confirmed it, his parents have (though that was primarily to my parents which was trickled down to me).

>>33244390
you already accused someone of being a pedo

>>33244390
In my experiences, people that cross those kinds of lines aren't going to be a net worth on your life. As conservative as 4chan is now, you should take a persons past with a grain of salt, but there are some things that are red flags that rarely ever pan out. Someone willing to manipulate a minor for sex is one of them in my book. Hell, even if it wasn't a minor that kind of behavior isn't even cool to begin with and the argument of cosent barely holds up.

>>33244405
I'm not saying he's a pedophile (since pedophilia means you're inclusively or exclusively attracted to adolescents) but I am saying he DID sexually assault someone who was a minor. We're both young so I don't think it was pedophilia but the victim wasn't nearly old enough (and it's gay).
>>33244423
I see anon, I'll think I'll just space myself from them at the moment. I think when the truth gets out the association with him could be damaging

>>33244434
But you already said you're not supposed to give revealing information. You're giving more and more details about this thing that happened and based on some posts it seems like you don't even know the full story. You're also being oddly defensive.
It's out of your control, the friend is gone. He probably doesn't even want to see you deep down, but might have nowhere else to go. If you feel bad, realize people cut others off for less or even nothing.

>>33244442
Sorry anon, it's just I'm kind of conflicted about this and I don't want this to be dismissed as bait or ignored simply because I didn't give enough details.
>He probably doesn't even want to see you deep down, but might have nowhere else to go. If you feel bad, realize people cut others off for less or even nothing.
Yeah, I've just never done that before. Wish me luck anon

>>33244434
>but I am saying he DID sexually assault someone who was a minor.

Anon was he a legal adult fucking a kid or not? Like fucking Jesus, is this a case of "he's 18 and fucked a 17 years, 364 days 12 hours a s 344 seconds years old" or "he's 25+ fucking a gay 10 yearold."

It's not fucking hard dude. Honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised if you said a 30 year old fucking a 29 year old is pedo coded since you're being such cryptic fag about everything. If you want actual answers you either give us the full story and details or keep your mouth shut.

>>33244816
He was 17 and the kid was 8.

>>33244838
So? He was still a teen.

>>33244854
My point is, as someone who is almost old enough to be his guardian it wasn't just a "oh look at those kids goofing off doing weird kid things", this was a man taking advantage of a kid who couldn't fully comprehend his situation is my point.

>>33243940 (OP)
The only legal thing you can do is to cut ties with him. Pic unrelated.

>>33244838
Yes, he is a pedophile. It doesn't matter what else he's fucked, he fucked a kid he's a pedo and you're just as bad as he is for wanting to keep in contact with that waste of life.

>>33244984
lmao
>>33244990
I'm only considering it because I know how unwell he is. I feel like if I left things would get worse for him which could hurt more people y'know?

>>33245010
Dude. He willingly hurt another person for his own shallow pleasure. You being his friend is not going to help or stop him. Are you really going to babysit and pretend to be this guy friend to try and protect his next victim? You aren't superman, you don't have the time, money or energy to monitor him 24 7 and if he's figured out how to do it once then he knows how to do it again. He isn't worth saving and he sure as hell hasn't proven that he's learned his lesson.

>>33245155
>if he's figured out how to do it once then he knows how to do it again. He isn't worth saving and he sure as hell hasn't proven that he's learned his lesson.
Good point anon, I think I was just hoping he's changed since he was my friend but I think I may have seen this through rose-tinted glasses.

>>33245172
It's more than just that. If you are willing to forgive him for his misdeeds then you'll have to do it for everyone. What are your limits when it comes to dropping people? If you are willing to forgive a pedophile then will you be willing to forgive anyone else who fucks you over or does something bad that makes people want to put their head on a pike?

Homie, you sound like a nice person. You deserve better friends. You don't run a fucking charity for pedos. He is not your responsibility.
