Best Answer:
Have you contacted the District Attorneys' Office, or Crime-stoppers? You can give this information anonymously and no one will know your identity.But you have need of to do something before he harms anymore children.
Has he been found guilty or only charged? Keep in mind also that there is a lot of false allegations contained by this area. I sure would wait and see if there is any evidence of this, and also exactly what he supposedly did. Indecent nouns is a little too broad of an allegation.

Check with a law library or a legal aid bureau if NC has legal aid offices. A attorney will charge you $500 just to say "Hello". I know nothing something like the situation so just good luck to the guy you know.
