It's your choice whether or not to confront him, not your aunt's. She needs to mind her own business. You are absolutely right in that pedophiles don't change. Even if he acted as though he was truly sorry it would only be act.
I second raging_tiggy's response. It's your choice, not your aunt's. You need to do what makes you feel "ok". YOU are the important one in this situation.
And yes, no need for apologies. Doesn't it feel good to get some of this out?!
Absolutely what the others said. YOUR feelings and wellbeing are the most important things here. YOUR needs. It is YOUR decision. It really doesn't matter if a confrontation would make *her* feel better. What's important is how YOU, the survivor, feel. I'm really proud that you're able to both see this and explain it to them.
It strikes me that 90% of survivors I've spoken to were either abused to their own family or had family that was really unsupportive of them when they told. It's like these people have a fucking radar that tells them hey, person with a shitty family here, good target. Grrrrrrr.
You're so strong and beautiful dar. Sending you love.

Your aunt is way out of line; confrontation is YOUR decision and yours alone.
*big safe hugs*
