My opinion is the father should have straightened him out on his own.
Maybe he lost control years ago, I don’t know.
Seems to me his son is not a pedophile, but trying to profit from it. Therefore some tough love over a long period of time is in order from DAD. Maybe it’s Dad who should man up and correct his son’s ways.
The pedophile friend should go to jail.
My opinion is that some kids have such a stubborn bent that they won’t listen, and that the filthy sh!theads that still shield their offspring when they become sexual predators preying on children need to be dropped into the depths of the sea chained to the same millstone as their spawn.
You don’t know the kids background. Could be a punk and not some “one time screw up”
