Hell no

Maybe if I can be sure he is sorry and would never do it again

You can only vote on one answer.

He is my dad's best friend and he is good friends with my mom too. My brothers and me always call him "uncle". If they found out it would hurt everybody so much and cause so much grief that I just keep it to myself

Ask yourself this, will it help YOU to tell?

I mean that as a non-rhetorical question. If you NEED to see him punished to heal, then you should tell. But you don't owe anything to anyone else.

If it will make your life better, and help you heal, then yes, you should tell. But if you don't think it will help you, don't.

This isn't about how others perceive your actions. It isn't about what others think is good for you. You are the victim, and you should do what is right for you.
