When misconduct in your mentoring community forces you to confront what you didn't see

Our friend group from graduate school has been informally mentoring younger scholars for years but one of us just got accused of inappropriate behavior with a mentee, and now we're all questioning everything — how much we really knew about each other's mentoring, what we're responsible for, whether our whole approach was too casual. Nobody knows how to talk about it.
