Hi, welcome
The sudden changes in your life must have been devastating. Immediately single with no time to think. Then the grief of loss followed by the gravity of inner love that still lingers.
Many people would be questioning your feelings, I don't, I can imagine the labyrinth of emotions.
However as parents we have a duty of care that trumps all other feelings a duty of protection. The other possible issue is, if you recommenced any friendship at all with this man, your daughter within a few short years would begin her resentment and that could be permanent.
We get member here that have issues sorting out their feeling about their partner having an affair. Most realise once trust is broken its game over. An alleged sexualising misconduct on a 7yo child should imo have similar if not, more determination to not revisit his life.
I have a suggestion. Try to fill your life with many more activities including dating or close friendships, hobbies, sports etc. By being distracted you'll eventually drift away from that gravitational pull. Also every time you begin to think of him think about the long term psychological effect this alleged action will be endured by your daughter.

I hope you are OK.
