Isn't the 38 year old son their own person? This seems weird, even if Puritans deserve all the hate they get

Unless dad knows it's going to come out that Junior's proclivities came from how he (dad) treated him when he was a child. It's often the loudest crusaders who are covering something up.

Yeah like, what's the son have to do with it? Can't even really say "dad raised him wrong" (not that that's a good excuse anyway but bear with me) since it's his stepson.

I'm assuming that there's more we're not getting (yet?), but I also know, in those circles, they say things like, "If a man can't keep his house in order, how can keep a church/company/etc. in order?" and that might mean finding a way to keep it under wraps and keep his son from prosecution. He failed to control his son, and he failed to game the system to keep this out of court and out of the news, so he shant be trusted.
