My only hesitation here is that you are getting this information secondhand from your 15 year old daughter. I'm not saying that your daughter is lying, but teenage girls are not exactly strangers to attention seeking drama. You might want to, at the very least, get the story straight from the 14 year old friend before you go to the police with an accusation like this. A lot of lives could be ruined simply by the accusation, including that of the married man, his wife and their 3 children.
IMHO if the guy did it then he needs to pay for it and be stopped from doing it again, even if there is collateral damage, but so far all you have is a second hand story that came out of a conversation between two young teenage girls, with no corroboration. If you don't want to talk to the 14 year old girl yourself, maybe you can enlist your daughter to get some more details, like when, where and how the girl slept with the married man, or where she is now advertising, or something.
Wow, this really sucks. Good luck as you work through this.
