I think the only options remaining are to start reporting him to the police.
If anyone else wants to know which police to contact, then these few things might be useful. Basically, you would start with...Is this legal?...I don't want him on my project, because...and this is how I know who he is. You might get some help with that from verizon's abuse contact or their abuse phone number. Sometimes, I'll warn ya, you can get more help from abuse contacts than cops, just because they're equipped to verify that e-mail directed at you came through them.
I agree that sometimes it can be more effective going through the ISP and if they were able to confirm to the mother that, yes, in fact, this was done from your IP address, it might help snap her out of her obvious denial. However, in reference to the police, it's not just a matter of not wanting him on the project - he's making death threats and threats of sexual violence against not only our editors and admins but their children as well.
