I’m sorry to hear about your experience with a male friend getting arrested for rape. I can somewhat relate. My childhood friend (male) went to prison for molesting his very young step daughters. I think the difference is that he was a friend growing up but we lost touch out of high school. In your case, you seemed close and his crime also leads to mistrust and a rightful sense of betrayal. I hope you don’t mistrust yourself for not knowing his capabilities. Rapists, pedophiles, and in some cases murders are not always obvious or detectable to anyone, including those who are close to them. It absolutely makes sense why his actions would affect you in the way that it did.
