You should retain a good criminal lawyer to investigate the matter. If he is guilty you must get him therapy. If he is innocent you must find proof that he did not commit these serious crimes. If convicted he will be a Juvenile Delinquent and it may hurt him in the future.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal law attorney specializing in juvenile law for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options

This can ruin the 12 yr old's life, and you will need to hire an attorney.

Even in juvenile court, your son is entitled to appointed counsel. Sadly, quite often a person with a sexual disorder can mask it from his parents. I recommend you get him a lawyer and a therapist.

Nothing unless they go to the authorities. Then get a lawyer for him. Do not have those children around your son anymore.

This is serious, get an attorney. It will be a juvenile charge. Then get ready for a lawsuit claiming you negligently supervised the children and should be liable. Seek counsel now!
