i have a cousin who has this foreigner friend she got to know through chatting on the internet. they have been having this long distance relationship for over a year now and they're scheduled to meet up early next year. being a relative, my cousin introduced me to him and i have the opportunity of talking to him on the phone and through YM. He seems like a fine person and ever since, he'd been very transparent about how much he loves my cousin considering my cousin's present situation. My cousin is married and is a self-confessed battered wife, that was what prompted her to start looking for someone else on the worldwide web in the first place. But the foreigner guy accepted her situation as it is, even if my cousin still lives in the same house with her son*****itch husband. now, the point of the story is, a week ago, someone sent me a comment on my Zorpia account and told me that the foreigner guy is a "Child Molester." When I first read it, I couldn't believe it. I thought it was just a prank or just someone sourgraping on a past relationship on a warpath to destroy the others' reputation. But I told my cousin about the comment and I even have her see the comment for herself. She asked the foreigner guy about it while they were chatting but he denied the said story. The following day, he sent my cousin an email, there he told the truth. That the "Child Molester" story was all true, that it happened years ago, that the victim was a relative and that he had been jailed for doing it but got out because his family made arrangements to settle the case. And the reason why he hadn't told my cousin about it is because he is afraid my cousin's not gonna talk to him again. He said he's a changed man, he had been rehabed and promised that things like that will never ever happen again. My cousin don't know how to react to him after that revelation. She got scared knowing the guy's dark past. If you were my cousin, what would you do about the situation? Are you still going to talk to him?
