I am glad he is in prison even though my husband and his family are grieving.I have heard that child molesters were often molested themselves. Is this true?? If his brother was molested could my husband have been as well??What are some warning signs of past molestation?

Many child molsters were molested as children (my brother was, too), but not all. It's true that there is no excuse for what he did, but it is a sickness and an addiction, too.

 there is a possibilty but there is no excuse for it. your brother-in-law can try all he wants to blame his actions on it happening to him, but he can't excuse what he's done.
if it has happened to your husband, until he feels able to talk about it or admit anything, don't force the issue or convince him of this.
he will confide when the time is right for him.
