I am writing to try to get info for my brother. He is currently going through a divorce with 3 minor children. Currently, he has about 35% custody of them. They agreed to this arrangement based on work schedules. This was before my brother found out that her current boyfriend (who we are unsure is living with her) is a child molester. After simple digging on the counties court website, it was obvious what he was convicted of (3 counts of unlawful sex with a minor), but also charges that were filed and later dropped because of plea deal (sexual penetration with object minor under 16, oral copulation minor under 16). The boyfriend was 25, the victim was 16. He got a $70 fine and 3 years probation. When my brother brought this to his exes attention she denied it. What actions can he take? Is there anything he can legally do to protect his children? At this point he'd rearrange his work schedule to protect them, but will the courts even look at the case given they just signed a child custody agreement about a month ago?
