If someone was going to be potentially harmed in anyway, and seriously, it would be easier to report such a crime. I'm going under a strong impression you were told this in the utmost of confidentiality. That puts you on the spot. Now what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would report in a heartbeat. Edited September 24, 2019 by Jayne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very strong possibility. 9 minutes ago, Jayne said: for accessory before the fact, which some jurisdictions call an accomplice even though you were there. This is the implication and it's extremely serious. 29 minutes ago, BeauJangles said: That puts you on the spot. Now what? And the main point here. I would really dread this.

I would tell him that If he commits that crime I would then inform the police. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
