It is common that sex abusers have themselves been sexually abused in childhood. You are doing right, when you are taking your son to psychotherapy, so that he can process what happened in the therapy and avoid an unconscious need to repeat them. Therapy will not remove the pain or the memory, but it will make the victim understand himself better, so that the victim need not express behaviour without understanding the unconscious factors causing this behaviour.
