This is a sensitive question but am wondering what the outcome would be.
I recently learned that my son had a sexual encounter with a 13 year old while he was living wiht his fiance. This happened only once and nothing was ever said about the matter.
However a recent trurn of events ( my son no longer lives with this woman) brought him to a hosiptal b/c he did not feel that what he did was right and told a therapist about his encounter. ( this was the one and only time it happened.) The daughter then bragged about it to her friend some 3 years later that this happened and never told the mother.
He was hospialized for 4 days in the hospital and did not think anymore about the matter, until police showed up at his door accusing of being a sexual predator. etc. Now evertything is a nightmre for both him and us. He is seeing a psychotherapist for what he did and he feels very remorseful for it. He was being honest when he told the therapist but now it has come back to haunt him. He cannot see his daughter ( 2 y.o.) for a year.
Might I say that DYS or whatever they are called badgered this girl until she told them what they wanted to hear. He is a good father and feels very remoseful for his actions. He is working and trying to turn his life around. Should he still be persecuted by both the police and others for what he did.
I am very upset over this whole thing but am trying to be supportive but everyone has him guilty b/4 hearing the evidence. Although I do not condone what he did, I do give him courage for doing the right thing.
We are not sure oft he outcome. Will he get probation? have to do community service, etc? I do not know if I need to invest money on obtaining an attorney ( we do not haev any) or letting this go on as it is , not knowing what will happen.
Any advice?
