@ned@jjsn No one decent should have anything to do with anyone associated. If he were just some guy who buggered a 17 year old a couple times, it would be one thing, abhorrent, but it wouldn’t stain the hands of all associates.
But he was not just a guy who buggered some teens. He facilitated the buggering of teens by other men. Every connection he has is inherently suspect enough to brand the person tethered to him as a habitual child-sodomist in the least.
There’s no ethical reason that any interaction with those people doesn’t come with an immediate sms message; “You’re speaking with a spider, it is morally acceptable to violently conjoin them with the nearest mains power cable.”
