And if you've ever been accused yourself, falsely or otherwise, one quickly
learns that "innocent until proven guilty" is pretty much a televison and
elementary school sham. The majority of the power rests in the established
authority (the government, police, and other "arms of the law"). If that
wasn't so, the accused wouldn't have to PROVE their innocence.
If the person's guilty they will likely be punished. If they are innocent,
they don't need anyone making the job of defense, or their own lives, harder
for them.
It's also good to remember that even though the guy is angry at being turned
in, you likely don't know exactly what he is guilty of doing, if anything.
If you did, you would likely be guilty by complicity.

I've found that unless someone has been placed in jeopardy, it's best to
mind one's own business. As others have said, "innocent until proven
guilt."

Kevin,
Understand your dilemma, but even though you don't know yet "who is
working for him", due to this photo related situation, I'd let the
owner know before too many others make the connection.
Are you certain this is the same person and that the owner won't fain
shock and surprise?

I recently walked into a large Sydney camera store and ventured to
the
"pro section" to purchase some Fuji Provia. I was astounded that the
person serving me was an ex-photog who is currently in the midst of
a child porn investigation. He worked with his uncle who has been
charged
and a trial is due.
My question is, should I make the store owner aware of who is working
for him?
Am I being vigilant or is it sheer bloody mindedness on my part?
Is this really none of my business?
I must admit this sort of thing boils my blood quickly.
Kind regards
Kevin
