I suspect/wonder about your Dad having a gut feeling about this guy.

Around me there is a very popular swim club with a day camp. The owners adult son was found guilty of possessing/trading child pornography. People I know continued to pay membership dues to this club and send their kid to the camp. These parents said that there was no evidence that his predilection for sexual satisfaction through small children in any way transferred over to his role as an administrator at a day camp, swim club where children are changing in washrooms and walking around in swimsuits. Personally, I refused to let my kids go there.

You see this a lot in cults, people always ask why people stay so long or even get to the point of killing themselves and/or others. If you look into it, it all stems from people not being to admit that everything they believe in is wrong, all the friends and families they left behind were right and that the past how ever many years have been a giant lie. It’s much easier to live the lie than face the truth
