    Default Underage Molestation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
    At thirteen, an uncle by marriage took me to a public pool (unfortunately him, my brother and I were the only ones there) and molested me and possibly him. I had repressed this memory until recently. After its resurgence, I also found out from another uncle that the pedophile uncle was, and possibly still is, in possession of child porn. As if that isn't creepy enough, he also molested two of my aunts and my mom when they were around the age of thirteen. Now his daughters are starting to have children. I can't help but feel obligated to do something about this cycle before he molests someone else, or worse. Should I take legal action? One of my aunts is trying to find out more about the child porn situation. The non-pedophile uncle told me about that a year and four months ago and my aunts found out a couple months later. I'm twenty now. My aunts are between forty and fifty five.

    When you called the police, what did they say?

    Depending on the nature of the molestation he could still be prosecuted, though it would not be easy.

    Testimony that relies on so-called "repressed memory" recovery are notoriously unreliable. Absent some sort of corroboration such testimony may not even be permitted at a trial.

    In any event, you should speak to the police agency of jurisdiction where you recall being assaulted.
