Without knowing what state you're in (Megan's law is different in each state) I can't really comment too much on what you're saying.
However, endangerment of a child and reckless endangerment of a child does not necessarily refer to a sex act. If you pull your bike riding kid up hills with your car, you're committing reckless endangerment, even though it's not sexual. That charge may or may not be related to the sex issue.
The aggravated sexual assault charge is a lot more ambiguous. In some states aggravated = sexual assault with a weapon. some say it's aggravated if you injure the person while sexually assaulting them. In still others, it simply means sexual assault with penetration. If your state falls in the latter category, the guy could still be in the situation I described - had sex with a 17 year old who lied and said she was 19.
What I'm saying is that you're going off half cocked here. Of course, keep your kid away from the guy until you research more, but you should do more research to find out what's really going on.
As for Megan's law, it only compels the state to make public the information on registered sex offenders. It doesn't say HOW the states have to make them public. Some states choose to have the cops go door to door warning the neighbors. Others choose to simply create a website. Without knowing what state we're talking about here, you may or may not be correct that Megan's law failed you.
