Report it to the police NOW, this may hurt your mother but it will begin the healing process within you.

Law and order is much more effective and satisfying than brutal revenge. Brutal revenge is tempting  but less effective because the person seeking justice destroys their since of justice back to the stone age in their quest for equality by brutal confrontation. So you suffer more. Justice is sweet by comparison. Can you imagine a person known and respected in a small town exposed as a child molester to all who know them. Their since of shame and loss …. beyond words. 

First and for yourself, seek some serious counseling. The rest will fall into place after you turn the guy in....

I would go with Romo's answer and call the police. What if he's out there still doing this to other innocent victim's. It ruins anyone's life, why not get the truth out there finally. Not out of revenge, but out of concern for future victims.

If you haven't talked to you Mom, maybe you should discuss this with her first, if you can't talk write her a letter or an e-mail. Hope this helps.

I am sorry that you have to deal with this, and also sorry for your mom when her world is going to come crashing down around her when you tell her what has happened.To be able to move on from your past hurt, you will have to unleash your demons and get some therapy/counselling.It is up to you if you want to press charges against this perpatrator, do you feel strong enough mentally and emotionally to pursue justice?Start with some therapy and take it from there.

Turning him in to police would keep him from doing what he did to you to someone else. You should seek counseling to assist in getting throught this. You need to be able to put what you can of this experience behind you, and move on with your life.

Its never too late to rectify what he has done to you. Report him to the police, child abuse authorities and tell your mother that he is what he is. I do not think it is right that you should suffer in silence because the offender may think that you liked it. Set him straight!. And now at 31, if you do not have the courage to tell your mother what he did, you never will and you will never sleep in peace again!. You obviously love your mother, she will not think well of you, and she will probably also not believe you. You have to realise that you will "face the music" but it is better faced and out than in and hurting yourself. You are important and it is time that you may have to be less selfish since you obviously cannot get over whatever he did to you.
