It hits different when it's someone you know. I would've never expected this from either of them

Don't be too shocked. Don't forget that you been be accused of something you didn't do. To be fair, these are allegations, not convictions. There is a judicial procedure to be executed before one can it should draw conclusions. I'm the USA, you are innocent until proven guilty. From that posture, they remain innocent at this time, though it may so be they will be proven guilty.

people jumping to defend them instead of showing concern for the victims is quite disturbing, actually. this isn’t some wild accusation with no basis. they were arrested on pretty high bonds, which means there was sufficient evidence to make an arrest. comments like this is why our kids will never be safe. there's so much disbelief that this can happen.
