You discover a family member was actually a paedophile and feel angry

[Madsciencecovid2020]

Ok so an elderly relative has just passed away this week. I have been communicating with the husbands relatives daughters. Tonight one daught rang me and was talking generally about the family. She disclosed that a family member had been in prison for being a pervert and not what we had been told several years earlier!! Her information fills in concerns I had about wider family issues and explains alot!! I also worry that my kids have been exposed to this individual on holiday as I thought he just had alcohol related issues and as per family narrative was convicted of drink driving in Scotland!
Aibu if we cut of ties with the member if family- events if they are no issues with children so far?? I am furious and this has really made me sick to my core after 32 years with my husband and his family. What would you do?? Tbf the member that disclosed the issue thought the iinlaws had mentioned it!! But fuck me as a teacher and with 4 neurodivers kids from 24 - 12 over the tears exposed to this man I feel sick!!
My husband didn't send overly surprised
AIBU to expect to be told thus information??

What is he actually convicted for? Googling his name and court records or sentence should provide the info.

But YANBU to not want contact with the Offender again, if that's what you are asking.

Yea I'd be fuming if no one told me uncle Mick was a convicted peodophile and he'd been around my child/niece/nephew.

Is it the offender who died and if so who is it you’re wanting to cut contact with?
the whole family for not telling you? So all the in-laws? Just the person who told you?

I would be furious and would cut of contact with the offender, or be extra super vigilant if I couldn’t avoid him. I wouldn’t skip another family members wedding because he was their for example but I’d absolutely make sure my kids did not go near him and if he approached them I’d be telling him to fuck off.

Do you mean cut off the peado guy? Well yes of course. It's grim AF and people can't stop their urges if they are like that, I don't think they can be rehabilitated. It is grim that this was hidden from you, but now you know you can stay the hell away from them. As for the family members who withheld the info, they may well have had their reasons so maybe speak to them about it without anger. They may have been abused by him as well.
I guess speak to your kids, check nothing ever happened, and tell them pretty frankly that he was in prison for doing that. They have a right to know too.
