my foster daughter acted out sexually in kindergarten pretty much all year last year. Little boys were groped, and once there was something that may or may not have happened in the in class bathroom. It continued until the school decided to listen to me and impliment a safety plan! They kept saying she was a beautiful little girl who wouldn't hurt a fly. There were right about her being a beautiful little girl, but she could hurt others and had the file to prove it. These kids, kids who have themselves been abused (especially when it has went on for years on end) have the potential to victimize others or act out on themselves. It's great that you don't leave him alone with younger children or girls but it probably needs to be more than that. I would expand that to not leave him alone with any other child, and I would insist that the school did the same. This is to keep your son and any other child safe.
People take offense when you say to be really careful around kids who have been sexually abused. They didn't ask for this and it's not fair, but everyone needs to be protected. It's not there fault often times they are acting out exactly what was done to them. Some sick adult did this and told them it was out of love.
Feel free to PM me if you need to talk or you want a sample of what a safety plan can look like. Good luck with the therapist tomorrow.
