I'll agree with Orolon on a couple of points. Basically if a jury didn't convict him our out of luck. There are double jeporady laws that will prevent any retrail.

If I may ask how old was your daughter and what exactly was alledged to have taken place? On what grounds did they NOT convict him? What physical evidence was there? Usually physical evidence is in itself pretty damning. Did you daughter change her story or something? What exactly happend? I'm sure you sat thru the trial so you can probably tell us what the jury heard to reach their decision.

You said he's the girls stepfather. Were you married to him? Was this all part of some kind of divorce and custody fight? Did the defense portray it that way?

You said he has a son. Why do you feel he's in danger? What makes you believe he's into child porn? (Being an internet junky is something alot of us are).

If you daughter was abused I'm sorry but if you want real advice you need to tell us what exactly happend in the trial and why they didn't convict him. I'm not insensitvie (Im an abuse victim myself) but we need to know the rest of the story here.

No doubt I will be set on by a pack of wild dogs shortly for lacking empathy, but here goes.
You said the jury acquitted him on ALL counts? Since they heard the testimony and viewed the evidence first-hand, I refuse to second-guess their decision. Obviously the case against him wasn't nearly as solid as you would like to believe. The jury told us and you that the man is innocent. Like it or not, justice has been served.
If you're concerned about the man being around your daughter, keep her away from him. If you're concerned about the man being around his son, that is a matter for the courts and the child's mother to take care of. You have no legal standing in that matter, so you need to just stay out of it. I'm sure the child's mother is aware of the allegations made against the father? Let her fight that fight.
I myself am an Internet junkie/computer whiz. So are a lot of other people. That in no way is an indication that I or they are purveyors of child porn. You said you "have reason to believe". What reasons do you have?

Sorry if I rub you the wrong way, as I'm sure I do. If your daughter was molested, I'm truly sorry. I've seen enough fabricated abuse cases to know that not all is as it may seem. But as a father myself, I would certainly be more likely to believe anything my daughter told me over the words of anybody else.There obviously is something about this case that caused 12 members of your community to believe this man did not molest your daughter.
