Unbelievable. Fifty or sixty years ago, such an act of betrayal would have been answered with a summary firing, at least, and possibly a good beating as a parting gift. Today, in our namby pamby world, someone has to ask: should I fire him? Would that be insensitive of me? Will I be sued? How will my (ex)wife feel? The answer, since you asked, is to fire his ass for unethical behavior. If he tries to take you to court, hire a good lawyer and fight back. File a civil suit against him. Make him famous. Make him sorry he ever walked in the door. What goes around, comes around. Important employee, my ass. No one is worth that.
