Not me but a friend I used to play World of Warcraft with.

The (at the time) #1 ranked progression guild in the world was Method. They had a player called Josh who used to stream frequently. My friend used to hate him and said he looked like the kind of guy that would spend his days on the dark web trawling for CP.

Around the time said friend had left to try out for the navy, Josh was implicated in a sexual harassment and child grooming scandal which caused Method to implode as an organisation. Most of their players abandoned ship and formed Echo in its place, in the full knowledge that everyone was covering up allegations against him, not just senior leadership.

When he got back (failed the fitness test) he was like "Called it. I knew he was a paedophile."
