As someone whose best friend was arrested for child-raping 8 kids..
Pedophiles are very , very good at masking who they are and what they do. I'm not saying guilt one way or the other on Mitch's case, but I assure you.. they are very good at keeping things underground. I've been in your exact spot, trying to understand how I missed things that simply weren't there. I remember a long conversation with an investigator where he laid out hotel bills, receipts, photos, a tape recording of my friend admitting to it to one of the kid's mothers, chat logs, and phone logs. Even then, I was still in doubt.
So , it's possible, and it's heartbreaking. For months, I questioned if I was an awful person for missing things. Let's wait for the trial.
