2. Yes - do not encourage communication with this fellow. Do not treat him as an enemy as such but as someone whom you do not want anything to do with. I see no problem in cutting any realtionship with him He has blown any kind of trust. (This may change with time if he becomes truly 'repentent' - but with a long time - and with evidence of true contrition and only if it causes no harm to wife and children. That may never occur again).
3. Keep in your mind that this type of person is liable to reoffend. If not his own children - maybe even nieces, nephews or grandchildren.
4. I hope the wife involved finds community or church or family support. She and her girls will need it.
3. Your wife must not become the conduit between him and his children. he has blown it.... if you have caller id on your phone use it and don't answer his calls.
