I should have just left him to his own devices then and there but, we've been though a lot in our over 45 years of friendship so I overlooked it. Now how ever, he's facing 3 counts of having sex with underage girls, I can't over look it anymore. It seems to be a pattern with him...... He did 12 years in Arkansas for sex with an underage girl which I just found out about while researching these current charges against him. He is a registrered sex offender in both Arkansas and Maryland, I will not have that kind of reputation follow me around through association with him. Yeah, we've been though hell and high water together but..... I will not want to be around when some father/uncle/brother/cousin comes looking for him with a gun because he banged some other underage girl. He is currently sitting in jail awaiting trial on these current charges.He's tried writing me and I did not answer. He's tried calling me, and I blocked all numbers associated with the County Lock up. Look, I know we all have our personal demons, but banging undergae girls when you're 57/58 years old, I can not and will not tolerate that.

I'm really sorry for your loss.  The guy I know was not very close to me.  I can't imagine the sting of losing a guy who's been with you since you were young.
Pray that he finds his way to an island of misfit toys with no computers and no unsupervised computer access.

I should add that the age of consent here in Maryland is 16, that means he was banging girls 15 and younger. I have no idea why he had to do this because he had a live in GF at the time all this was going on. The same when he was in Arkansas, he was living with a girl and her kids yet, he still found he needed to bang some underaged girls there. It's a damn wonder he hasn't been shot yet by some mad father. He's lost quite a few friends over this and he has only himself to blame. ALl of us that knew him agree that we doubt that he'll ever be a free man again with his track record. Between that and him being treated for prostate cancer right now, well, seeing the light of day as a free man ever agin seems like a long shot at best........
