Ex was arrested for sexual abuse of a minor under 16, we share a daughter. Is this enough to strip him of all his rights as a parent? Protection order?

r/

My ex has been arrested on 5 felony counts of sexual abuse to a minor.

My daughter is 5 and has not seen him in 2 almost 3 years. I have sole physical and legal custody.

Are these charges enough for me to petition for him to have all of his rights as a parent stripped from him?

We live in the same city and my daughter is starting public school in a few weeks, are these charges enough to get a protection order?

Location: Idaho, USA.

    Being charged, no. Being convicted, maybe. It’s hard to say 100% because some judges want to do therapy or supervision etc.

    You’d more than likely need him to be convicted before you try. But even then that’s dicey bc some judges give supervised visits to the S/O parent (which is dumb imo)
