yikes, that's somewhat similar to my situation where my friend has been accused of child molestation. Except I'm fairly certain he's innocent. Read the thread for more info if you'd like.

I'd say focus on the children. Make sure they know it was not their fault. Make sure they know he is sick, just like a disease.

And I'm sorry, but I don't know if this will help or hinder, but he deserves to be in prison for what he did. If he can't control himself then he needs to be locked up. Don't feel sorry for him in that regard. Feel sorry for his childhood. Think of the child in him that was terribly abused. Morn that, not him in his adult state.

I think you should see a counselor about this. In a way this is just like losing your brother, in a way, worse than death.
