    Summary

    AITA for getting rid of people who deserve it?
    I (F, 30s) recently got a new job in a specialized area of law enforcement. My coworker (M, 20s, IQ of 187) went through a traumatic experience shortly after I joined his team. I did my best to support him the best way I could and even provided him a sense of purpose in his darkest times.

    We later engaged in a...proactive community service project to keep our country safe, as we felt official channels weren't cutting it. He was totally into it at first, but now there's way too many liabilities for us to keep going. He's getting cold feet and my coworker (F, 20s, attractive) has way too many questions.

    He's even accused me of taking advantage of him, which is insane because all I've done is empower him.

    AITA?

    Edit: For everyone saying to turn myself in, you're totally missing the point. They had it coming.
