    We need more information. Specifically:

    1. What is the name of the someone's US state?
    2. Who is the kid in relation to the someone?
    3. If the someone never sees the kid, how is it the kid knows who the someone is (in order to write about him in her diary)?
    4. Who has made the molestation accusations against the someone?
    5. Have the police investigated the someone?
    6. Have the police charged the someone?

    Yes, please answer eerelations questions. Additionally, it should be noted that, generally, a diary entry alone is NOT going to be sufficient to support the probable cause requirement for an arrest.

    Your question as written is difficult to understand. Your post also lacks sufficient facts to make any real judgment on whether there was indeed probable cause for arrest on any charge. A diary entry, while not generally not admissible evidence, certainly could provide probable cause for arrest. The details of the diary would be very important to that determination.
