Not necessarilly. If I didn't do something, but the evidence against me makes me think I might get convicted, I might just plead to a lesser charge (aggravated sex assault instead of rape, for instance) so I don't have to spend so much time in jail.

Until known otherwise you should quite frankly leave him the hell alone. Go find out what he did. THEN persecute him if it's warranted.
oh and BTW aggravated sex assault in NJ could mean that when he was 17, he slept with his 16 year old 3rd cousin or with his step sister. Hardly something you have to worry about him raping your little kid over.

Again, it depends on what he did.

If he's really a child molester I wouldn't take that chance either. But I'd
find out if he was really a child molester first.
You don't know that. You're assuming that based on limited facts, even though you could very easily go find out the full story.
Why don't you want to do that?
