Was Brad a pervert??

Nobody seems to have brought this up yep, but there was an awful lot of hinting at Brad potentionaly being/becoming a sex offender,
The one scene that really got me thinking was when he and Sarah were going away and Brad looked back at the car-seat almost upset that Sarahs daughter wasnt with them, After that i had to hold my breath when he woke Aaron up to kiss him goodbye, i had an awful feeling something bad was going to happen (thank god it didnt)

Ive watched this film a couple of times since, and i keep finding more and more clues that Brad isnt what he seems, i even wonder if Sarahs friend was really strange when Sarah returned home because Lilly had said something,
Also throughout the film Brad seems so uncomfortable when Larry mentions how vile Ronnie is and how much he hates what he is,

There are signs everywhere

I really don't think he was a pervert. At all.

I don't think that was the case at all. If you want to see Patrick Wilson as a sex offender, check out Hard Candy. He's not one here.

If anything, I was completely thinking Larry would be one before they revealed he'd shot a kid. I'd see Larry as more plausible.

I thought the baby seat scene was him feeling guilty
