If the boy is under age and the father is a registered sex offender, he could be, based on the law where the boy is located. Also, if his parole states that he must stay away from children, the answer is a definite yes, if the boy is underage.
Another issue is in the boy's mother got a restraining order against the father for herself or the boy or it is part of the divorce decree that he stay away from the mother or the boy. If either is true, the answer is again, a definite yes.
As the boy is an adult, does the boy have a restraining order against the father? Does the father's parole prohibit contact?
These are just a few issues that should be considered. For a more exact answer, you would need to contact a lawyer.

If he is the biological father and the boy is now an adult then NO they cannot charge him. The father has every right to see his child unless he has signed his rights away or let the child get adopted by a step father. If the son contacts you himself and says he does not want him around then it would be best to respect his wishes. Give it time the son might have been brain washed all of his life by the mom and grandma. If he feels he is going to make his mom mad then he may stay away until he realizes that his mom is wrong and he can do what he wants as an adult. Deep down he probably does want to get to know his dad but it will be hard if he has mommy so far up his butt that he cannot take a crap w/o her knowing. Good Luck it is a hard situation to deal with.

No they couldn't charge him if that was the only contact. Unless of course the original sex offense charge involved his son... which you didn't specify. No one can give an accurate answer without certain details like: Were the charges involving a minor (or his son)? Were they because of a rape charge? etc...
Sex offenses are one of the most alarming charges to carry around with you and your husband may have done his time but his real 'time' is just beginning, that charge will follow him for the rest of his life.
If your husband made the effort to re-new contact with his son after all that time - it took allot of courage on his part, but the son and grand-mother do have a right to press charges if he continues to seek unwanted advances.
This is proof that all actions have reactions. Too bad he was unable to avoid committing the act that got him in trouble in the 1st place.

Go to www.bewareofmichigan.com, you will see that the law and courts can do anything it wants whenever it wants. Read pg.2 and you will see how a lot of sex offense charges are used to put people away for long periods of time by the courts (whistle blowers and anyone the judges and or the police want to get even with for any reason). by using kids that are in trouble with the law to lie to get the charges against them dropped. Sending people to prison that the kid may or may not have ever seen.

If the child is an adult the child would be the only one who could file any charges. They would have to have a restraining order from the courts to legally keep him away form his son.
If there was never an order from th court forbidding contact he has done nothing wrong.

Seeing that his son is an adult, I would think that only the son can do anything about that. Plus, he isn't stalking him or threatening him, so I don't see a problem. What law is he breaking by doing this? I can't think of a single one. I wouldn't worry about it all myself, I think they are thinking that they can scare him into staying away....

It depends on the law where you are, the terms and conditions of any probation and any type of paperwork connected to the divorce and/or child custody. Otherwise, he is free to make first contact. I wouldn't suggest further contact though, unless its through use of an attorney, as any further contact could possibly be deemed as harrassment.

No it's just a treat they are making. They know they can make it rough on him. Just tell him not to worry now that his son knows where he is if his son wants to see him he can. Just don't call no more and don't worry.

Only if he is suppose to stay away from him. Heck, if his sex offense did not involve a child, he could even ask for custody
