Re: I believe grandfather to be sexual predator.

I'm not sure what your options will be since nothing was filed when this happened. The fact that your STBX did not and has not dealt with this issue and continues to ignore it is not going to help the situation or your daughter.
It will be hard to tell if she remembers the incident you describe or not. I'm not sure it is important that she does or not. What is important is to talk to her about "bad" touches and inappropriate behavior, whether it be someone she knows or a stranger, so that she is not taken advantage of by anyone ever again and will feel comfortable in reporting it if it does ever happen.
Unfortunately, if your STBX does not acknowledge the incident and does allow his father access to your daughter unsupervised there will be little you can do about it. I would get the advice of your lawyer about this though. It may be hard to "prove" it unless your STBX is willing to admit it happened. If he is, then I would have it put in the CO that your STBX father is prohibited from spending time alone with his granddaughter. Are you able to talk to your STBX and get him to commit to protect your daughter from his father?
I'm curious is there a "grandmother" in the picture?? or some female who is married or otherwise involved with this man?? If so, is she aware of the situation??
Good luck, divorce is tough enough without the added stress of an issue such as this, especially for the children involved.
