Re: Can i sue a convicted child molester

Yes, you can pursue claims in civil court but you may have problems finding out what assets, if any, he has until you obtain a final judgment against the convicted felon. You should meet with a civil litigator experienced in prosecuting claims of this nature. There are investigation methods available to determine whether there are sufficient assets to justify pursuing a judgment.
