Re: child molestation
It depends on the age of the alleged victim, but your son could be facing child molestation charges under Penal Code section 288. Depending on your son's age, it may be used as a strike against him in the future and there is the lifetime registration as a sex offender.
Being "detained" (held in custody) is a very distinct possibility, given the allegations. Your son needs a good attorney on his side.
