A president cannot pardon a person for crimes committed against a state

What does that have to do with the sexual abuse of children?

And where does it say that in the Constitution>

Depends on whether the abuse charge is federal or state.

And where does it say that in the Constitution>

Article 1, Section 2, Clause 1:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
