I'm not saying they did know, but if they did there's plenty of reasons why they might have ignored it.

I'd say there could be a good chance alright that they knew about things maybe happening with groupies who's age might have been questionable or whatever but I seriously doubt they would have one iota of a clue about any of the pedophile related acts which he or the women, were found guilty of committing.

I'd tend to agree; however I would wonder if they perhaps suspected something..

I understand you wondering that of course, and also anyone else that does to and who also might be of the opinion that surely his friends must have noticed something. But you know what, the reason (in my opinion at least) that we think this way, is because of the words which are used to describe people who are guilty of doing these things.

We call them monsters and pronounce them evil and so surely someone would notice if one if their close friends or family members were evil monsters but as hard as it may be to accept, the truth is that these people are not evil and they are not monsters. They are just people. People who may have done evil and monstrous things, sure, but they still people going about everyday mundane tasks like the rest of us and that's why we find it so hard to understand.

Same with killers. Guy was arrested on my road a few years back and charged with some shootings which were carried out thorough out the previous ten years and yet anytime I ever spoke to him, he couldn't have been nicer. Seemed a cracking dad too and also regularly seen him in Lidl doing the shopping and yet not a shifty move did he ever make but yet, that same guy apparently shot three men in cold blood, one of whom was only 21 years old. Didn't stop him supporting his favourite football team on a Saturday either as he would always wear their kit and say hello as went past on the way to pub to watch them play.

Point being, God alone knows what people get up to or what makes them do the things they do, or even how much of these things are actually part of of who they are, and if it is, then how much so? A major part? Something that drives them daily? Or just a small part of them and in fact something they struggle with? Answer: no fcuker knows but one thing I do know is that seeing these people as evil inhuman monsters doesn't help us or lead us any closer to preventing further instances of evil acts occurring in our society. In fact if anything, it brings us further away from it.

Just on this specific case though: my own thoughts here are that this seems to much more about an addiction extreme porn than anything else. I was listening to an interview with his ex just there a few minutes ago and she was saying something quite interesting. She said that he kept showing her videos of some abuse taking place and was staring at her while doing so and that he was clearly more interested in her reaction more than anything else. If that is the case, where would something like that end. What does he show the next woman to get a bigger reaction than showing her a girl. Ask a mother about her daughter? Oh wait.

Now I know people are gonna say that they mothers made their own decsions and indeed they do, but someone is always leading the charge and I am not saying that to take away responsibility from the women or indeed, lay the blame solely at the man's feet. Trust me, I'm not as I only a few weeks back read the case where a woman from the UK actually advertised online during the same for a man with a daughter, flew to the states to watch him rape her and had told him also that she wanted him to get her pregnant so they could raise a slut together. So, well aware that women can be as fcuked up as men in this regard but in this case, I think Ian was the one instigating abuse, from the information available at least and to me is looks like he was addicted to shocking both himself and other people and thank God he was caught as it was clearly about to get much worse.
