In response to the original question, I feel the pain, but the father messed up the relationship with his daughter. Perhaps in the long term that will heal, but for right now, he took it too far. I'm not saying it's a great idea for 16 year olds to get pregnant, and it is not cool that this young guy got so involved, but it was pretty obvious from the start that this was going to adversely affect the relationship with the daughter. I'm sorry, a blind man could see that.
The question one has to ask is: Did Dad do this for his daughter, or did he do this for himself (to satisfy his own sense of "justice" and to alleviate his own "impotency"), given the likely outcome of all this in terms of ruining the father/daughter relationship?
What to do now? I have no idea...
