I'm sorry that you're being put in this position :(
I don't agree with the idea that just because someone has committed a crime/done something society considers "unforgivable," their friends should be judged by whether or not they choose to continue to remain friends. By staying friends, you are not endorsing the behavior.
On the other hand, I'd have a very hard time staying friends with someone who I knew behaved that way, even if they hadn't done it *to me*, or in my sight. I don't think, under these circumstances, that I'd be able to stay friends with Rene at this point.
But these choices are your own, and you have my support and friendship as you're struggling with them (and as ever.)
