Default Should I Go?
So, I went to school with a guy named Cody. We were fairly tight back then, but I've only talked to him maybe twice in the 11 years since we graduated. A year or 2 ago, he got arrested for having child porn [he showed no signs of this kind of behavior back in the day]. Earlier this week, he committed suicide. I'm conflicted on whether or not to attend his funeral. If he hadn't been busted for kiddy porn, I would definitely go. Would you go?
=================================================

TL;DR

Old friend got busted for kiddy porn and killed himself. Do I attend the funeral?

Go, but make sure that none of the kids involved are planning on going. That would be awkward.

The whole event will be people trying to avoid the conversation of what he did.

Go there and awkwardly try to justify it. Be like, "man all those hormones in milk make girls grow boobs super early now huh?"

I'd go. He was your friend, however flawed he may have been. Just because you attend a funeral of someone with child porn doesn't mean you're like that too.

Then you're a bigger man than me. When I was a younger man I was in a band with some close friends, years later one of them molested a 6-ish y/o family member of another member, infuriating all of us. I've never spoken to the molester since, 15-some-odd years later.
