have a friend from high school who was the beard of a pedo. guy used to take trips to places like thailand, and brought back video tapes. 1 day, when she was alone at his house, she got curious, and popped in a tape, expecting to see ankor watt, etc. nope, not that. that day, and what happened next, ruined her life.
the guy was a deacon at the church they both attended, and a lawyer. she blew the whistle, and the guy eventually went to prison. but until he was convicted, she was absolutely ostracized.

this woman has a beautiful voice. she studied opera in college, and cd have been a diva. but after all that happened she developed stage fright that she never cd shake. she did keep singing, doing weddings, etc. but she shd have been a huge star. ended up working as an admin assistant, became disabled, and dirt poor, living w relatives.

there’s a high price to b paid for doing the right thing.
