Friend hangs out with criminal

A few years ago myself and some friends used to go out. There was a guy there and a couple of years ago he was convicted of having a hard drive with material of children on. He didn’t go to prison because he is ‘vulnerable’. He know what he was doing as he kept wiping the hard drive so he is not vulnerable.

We all deleted him off Facebook and cut ties except for one guy. The one guy in our social group sometimes says to the other guys he has seen this guy recently as they go to the cinema or play snooker. You can see that they try to ignore him mentioning this whereas I am talking to the girls. I find it insensitive because it all upset us when we found out and he has no respect for the children that were harmed and the fact we don’t want any dealings with him.

Why would he still associate with this guy after what he did? I know I can’t control who he hangs out with but it’s as though he has no moral compass.

in all honesty if someone still hangs around with someone who’s done such a thing as what you mentioned then it shows they don’t care about what they’ve done. i would cut ties with this friend. I couldn’t continue being around someone who supports that shit.

Cut this guy out and tell him why. Totally reasonable.
