The moral pedophile (a hypothetical)

[Barnabas]

Pete Townshend was found with child porn a few years ago (perhaps even put in jail for a while, I don't remember), he also said he was gay decades ago, then said he didn't mean that

Really? I asked because pedophiles have pretty much replaced Nazis as our epitome of evil, and I was wondering if it's possible for such a man to survive in society. Does everyone know about this man, or does he keep it on the DL except among very close friends?

As far as I'm aware, I'm the only person my friend has ever told about this. Additionally, my friend is perfectly capable of engaging in normal romantic and sexual relations with others the same age. As I said, I believe my friend overestimates the influence of this urge, possibly out of shame.

I imagine he doesn't put it on his resume.

Well, it would demonstrate willpower and moral fiber and all that, but no. I didn't quite mean that.

Yeah, I saw it. $60M for a hurt-children fund plus restrictions that sound likely to depress their football program for several years (when combined with the scandal fallout; nobody wants to play for Kidreamer U.)

I imagine it really messes somebody up, having to live with that. I hope he has a mostly normal and happy life.

Oddly enough my friend is quite happy, or at the very least quite good at hiding unhappiness.
