How can someone be sent to jail for child molestation?

Only the local authorities can prosecute someone for crimes. The victims should contact the police and make a report. The district attorney will decide whether to prosecute or not. The victims could also sue for personal injuries.

If the victims report the crimes to the police, they might arrest this criminal and they might not. If they arrest him, the D.A. might charge him with crimes or might not. You can't be sure what they will do; you can only do your best to report the crimes in as much detail as possible and with as much supporting evidence as you have and hope for justice. If all three victims report him, that should be more convincing than if only one reports.? Unfortunately, it is often traumatic for the victims to do this, and many victims don't report so as to avoid that trauma and perhaps retaliation from the criminal. The victims can also sue their stepfather for sexual battery, whether or not the state charges him with any crimes.? All they will get is some money, if that, but it may be therapeutic (or may be more traumatic) to get their day in court.

She needs to report it to the police for the City or County where the molestation took place. If they do not think there is probable cause to arrest him, then there is nothing else she can do. Sometimes the police will have the victim call the suspect and attempt to get the suspect to confess while the police listen to the conversation. If the statute of limitations has not run, she may be able to sue the step father.
