How would you feel if.....?

.....you found out one of your friends(50ish yr old male) was involved in statutory rape charges with a 16 year old boy?

All I have to say is my friends and I used to go hiking with this guy when I was in high school... He was an awesome friend, but never made any sexual advances toward me. I did assume he was gay, but I'm not a homophobe... I really feel sorry for the guy because he was a great role model despite the mistake he made. (should have at least gone after other peeeps his own age)

Do me a favor and pray for this guy if that's not some kind of Christian contradiction. I always read articles about stuff like this and always expect the person convicted to be a total scum bag. This guy is truly one of the most amazing people I've ever met.

Please no flaming....I'm really shocked.
 
I would think twice about that friendship. But then again, it must be tough since you've been friends for a long time.

I'd look at the facts and then make my decision.
 
I haven't spoken to him in about 4 years....I moved 250 miles away. I found out about it because he admitted to it. I read it in the paper. 🙁

Once again, I still consider him a good friend even though these circumstances came up. I just hate to see that happen to him at this point in his life... I mean, he's accomplished a lot...it sucks to end up losing cash to the courts, ruining a kid's life, and getting 6 years.

what exactly suggests he's homosexual?

Probably the having sex with other men.

:Q

A man?

Well, I'm pretty sure it's not considered homosexual if a man has sex with a woman, so yeah, a man.

The whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing doesn't mean much to you guys, does it...

Well, everyone makes bad decisions in life - some worse than other.

very true.

I know that everyone has done things that are immoral and illegal. I hate what your friend did, but he deserves forgiveness. I will pray for your friend. I will pray that he is forgiven, and also that he finds the right way to live.
