She's a friend of a friend but the following tale came straight from the horse's mouth.

Now early 40s, income from family trust fund, one previous longterm relationship as the OW. Went travelling, got pregnant after two week relationship came back to UK. Made little attempt to keep in touch with the father.

Desperate for a relationship so after 5 years hooks up with local man, he's not ideal, prison record, three children with different mothers, little contact with them. Within a week she finds out his on/off girlfriend is pregnant but chooses to continue the relationship.

Given all that would you be friends with her?

Failing to see how the family trust fund is relevant here. It's like saying she has brown hair.

I want to know what he went to prison for
it might swing the thread in another direction Wink Wink

For eg.
He may have refused to pay his Poll tax
or
He may have been repeatedly caught shoplifting in Iceland
or
something more serious

Yanbu. So so unreasonable.

You don't like the choices she has made and is making. That doesn't make her morally bankrupt,it makes her different from you.

You don't have to like her or her choices but she isn't a bad person from the details you've given.

Bit unpleasant really.

She doesn't sound morally bankrupt.

I wish I had her private income Wink
