This is honestly worse than being his friend. You are telling everybody that you kept a degenerate pedophile around like a pet, watching him streak in the open streets, play with his scat, jack off and toy with his butthole while vocalizing desires for child porn legalization and possible ties with one of the worst online grooming and CSAM distributing communities.
A normal person with an inch of common sense and maybe some values would have turned this gross fucker over to the authorities the second, night, day, whenever these red flags appeared. In your own words you shielded this individual for your own benefit. Jesus wept.
