Imagine letting your small child be alone with an adult male that was enthusiastically volunteering to be alone with kids.

I'm gonna go out on a very big limb here and say the charges are misleading so as to scare them into pleading.

Misleading in what way? What lesser crimes would you think they have presumably committed that were subsequently upgraded to those mentioned in the OP in an effort to get them to plead?
