It depends on state law and whether your state has a statute of limitations for the crimes he committed. After all this time, it may be difficult to prove, but you should still contact the police. The person may be molesting other children and it may cause the police to watch him/her more closely, resulting in an arrest.\n\nAlso, if the person has any significant assets, you may be able to bring a civil suit against him/her. The burden of proof is much lower in a civil suit. This is why all the former altar boys are suing the Catholic Church. They may not be able to get the priest convicted, but they can get money from the church.

A 21 year-old male who is allowing an individual under the age of 18 perform any kind of sexual act (whether that act involves penetration or not) on him is committing child molestation.  He is breaking the law and potentially psychologically hurting a CHILD.  And most molestation occurs within the family.\n\nInstead of talking to "lots of people" who cannot do anything about it, talk to authorities or someone who can. If that means talking to the girl's mother/his aunt, then do it.  Unfortunately, if you don't have hard evidence it will be very much a "he said, she said" situation with the possibility that you will not be believed.  If you don't have hard evidence for authorities, they won't be able to do much either.  You may have to simply go to the aunt and tell her you strongly recommend she not allow them to spend time alone together anymore.  \n\nThe sad truth about some of these types of situations is that the younger child is sometimes thrilled that they're in an "adult relationship", and will do anything to protect the person who is sexually assaulting them. Either that, or the person who is HURTING them is a family member and the child feels like family loyalty is more important than self-preservation.  The other sad truth is that loved ones of the perpetrator usually don't want to believe that "junior" or "juniorette" (yes, there are female molestors) could be capable of "something like that".\n\nStuff like this DOES happen a lot, and a lot of it goes unaddressed because no one wants to get their hands dirty... and then those who do it know they can get away with it.  Send a message to your roomie that he can't get away with it.  If he wants to experiment with his peers, then fine.  Leave children alone.

Trevor, I don't think theres anything wrong with you unless it becomes an obssession. A lot of folks have a foot fetish and it doesn't make you a serial killer. It is odd but aren't we all a bit odd now and then? At least you admit it. Now I have met some guys that take it too far. One guy was working at a dept. store and he coaxed a little girl away from her mom and had her wearing the panty hose socks and when she tried to run away, he grabbed her by the hair and she screamed and he let her go. He then proceeded to lock himself in the men's room until the police arrived. If you have it that badly, then yes, see a therapist but you're not crazy. If it truly bothers you, it doesn't hurt to talk to someone about it. That one guy I told you about also forced a female employee to let him rub her feet at another job and he got fired for it. It doesn't mean that you're like him though. Talk to a counselor and I think it will go a long way in making you understand your feelings. Good luck. =)

If you find out what the man actually did, it might put your mind at ease. He is not necessarily a pedophile. \n\nDo some research. If he is on probation, call his officer. Find out if he is someone you really need to worry about before you get all paranoid.

That depends on what it is you want to do.  It is pretty well agreed that child molesting is not a good thing and that you would be harshly judged for doing so.  Etc.  Murder, theft, and so on. There  has to be certain agreed upon standards of conduct in order for any society to survive.

I actually do believe that a small percentage of pedophiles are that way due to sexual orientation.  I heard a radio interview with a therapist recently.  About 10% of child molesters are only attracted to children.  But for the other 90% it is more about power and psychological problems.  The 10% who are that way by orientation need to be kept permanently away from children.  The rest can be rehabilitated, and there are good, proven treatment programs to do this, but it is not fast, might take a couple or three years, and it does cost money.  I feel very sorry for people who can't help but be attracted to children by orientation (the 10% of molesters) but if they cannot controlthemselves from acting on it, then the protection of children from that kind of harm is more important than their freedom.  I agree that there are probably many who never act on their feelings of attraction to children (pedophiles by orientation but never molest children).  This is my opinion.

you must be honest and open to them.  don't ever let them find out on their own; thats just bad. if its for a job most places require you to tell them when you fill out the application. if the offense was against an adult you have a better chance of getting more understanding than those with which was convicted against a child. speaking as one who's been offended you should really be brutally honest. you might be working to get trust bigtime from whomever you tell, but you shouldn't hide it and there is no easy way to  tell them but don't lie about it. keeping it from them would be a lie.

Molesting children is an action; being sexually excited by children is a mental issue (obviously the result of a damaged psyche).  With therapy, one-time molesters can stop performing the actions even if they continue to have the urges, in the same way that I manage to avoid raping women that I find myself attracted to.

Yes, that is not a job that has any restrictions on felonies/misdemenor or anything of the sort. However, your employer might not like it if you are a sex offender or drug lord, right? Thats up to your employer.

I don't think you are being completely fair. Not all adults molest their children. The sad thing is that a lot of them do. I think it is a mixture of pleasure and power. But with that power, comes pleasure. If you are being molested, please get help. You can tell a teacher, friend, or another adult you know you can trust. Sometimes it is hard to admit what is going on, but it has to happen. The person who is molesting the child is sick and needs to get help. If it is a friend of your's that is being molested, still tell someone. They may hate you for telling someone, but they will be happy you did later. I promise you that.

Please go slap whoever told you that....if there is proof that the child (no matter what its age) is being abused in any way shape or form, both parents can be charged. even if only one is doin the molesting.

I would consider the robbery felon and the murder felon.  I believe they can be rehabilitated.  The robber a little more than the murderer.  Murder is up there with molestation but there is no excuse for molestation in my mind.  A person that would take advantage of a child in that way would do any of the other two as well.\nJust my opinion.\nWith that said, everyone should be given a second chance but not a third.

Absolutely there are laws to protect you, but what you have stated is somewhat vague, you should try asking a more specific questions, where did the icident take place home, work? what kind of harassment? sexual, physical,or verbal was it your boss or a coworker.

Yes, you should most certainly report your a** hole boss. He's a creep, and that kind of talk should never be forced into the workforce.

Fortunately, I've never dealt with someone actively molesting a child in a religious organization/setting.  On the other hand, as a youth leader of an organization for teens, I actively watched and made decisions to help identify and protect the young people entrusted to me by their parents.  It's always best to try to avoid getting into the situations before they happen rather than dealing with the consequences afterwards.

I would tell someone that I was molested. I'm still not able to tell anyone. Everyday I wonder if he will hurt someone else, but I am afraid about what my family (parents etc.) will think. It was by a cousin.  My husband is the only one that knows. It has been 26 years. I'm not a prostitute, stripper, drug addict; so I don't think it had that much of an impact. I still don't like the fact that it happened.
