Wow, what an ugly situation to be in! (((hugs))). I'm not sure if it is the same with porn addicts as with actual pedophiles, but I do know that there is no cure for pedophilia. They can go to counseling, they can take meds, they can even be castrated, but it still will not stop them. I don't know if you can cure a person with a porn addiction, but the line between the two is SOOOO thin. Since you seem to be relatively sure he did not touch your daughter, does he have "access" to any other children? Neighbors, friends, family? I know at the moment you have yourself and your daughter to worry about, but if you have even an inkling that he may have touched some other child, I believe it is your moral obligation to protect these other children as well as report him to the police. At the very least, if there are other children around, speak to their parents.
I feel for you. My first husband was a porn addict, but not children. He had other "fetishes". Which led to cheating, of course, which amongh other things led to our divorce.
I'm so glad that your daughter has a safe place with you. I wish you all the best. Stay strong.
