A friend of mine was sentenced today to 3 years - 15 months custodial. Even though I've been following the series of events over the last year and a half, I still can't believe that it's happened. We used to be very good friends on and off up until about 5 years ago, where we sort of lost touch.
The sad thing is that it didn't surprise me when the accusations were initially made.
But I really don't know how he'll cope. He is so screwed up. I half imagine that he doesn't even realise that he's done anything wrong. I remember when he told me about something sort of related to it ages ago, and I told him that he really shouldn't do that. He just couldn't see what was wrong with it.
He's spent a great deal of his life being depressed on and off. We used to have long conversations at school about life, god, the world and everything.
It's a bizarre mix of feelings that I have about the whole situation. Part of me can't believe that he's been so so stupid. But then part of me just feels so sorry for him. But then he's such an arrogant git!! Always has been! But he knew I'd tell him things as they were. He could never get away with giving me shit. Hm.
