Pretend you have a close friend. You guys have been friends for a long time. You go to parties together and are constantly in the same social circles.
Now lets say that friend of yours has another group of friends he hangs out with. You've never personally hung out with them, but you see your friend with them all the time. They've taken pictures together, your friend has talked about them in public speeches, etc.
One day, news breaks that your friend's other group of friends get busted for sleeping around with underage women. Your friend never got caught doing anything wrong, but he was around them enough that it raises suspicion, but nothing is ever proven and he denies having sex with women who are underage.
Would you still be friends with them?
