Should I report them (Which is my gut instinct) or it Christian to turn-the-other cheek ?I think one risk could be if the person is innocent and goes to prison, then it could be on my conscience if it were me that initiated the process.

Reporting a crime such as this is not akin to what Christ and Scripture is teaching here. moralcompass, if you are being advised to not make a judgement on this person who is committing a crime that is hurting scores of other people, then you are receiving bad advice. This is not like adultery at all and should never be viewed as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
