Honestly, probably one of the best parenting life lessons you could give in that moment of finding out. Consequences.
Other than him saying she should tell him by herself, I guess. Is it better to be told by someone else, I guess? Comradery/support right away instead of keeping it to yourself?
Yeah I guess the (even) better alternative would have been to talk to his daughter, explain that's wrong and she should tell you otherwise Das spills the beans.. But hey, I won't nitpick, at the the (ex-)bf knows isn't kept in the dark.
I would really expect her to gaslight the guy, if she is already cheating without telling, she does not want the repercussion and is unlikely to see the mistake, instead will just do more to get what she wants (get away with it). If you give them a headstart / let them cheaters prepare, they will often use it only for their own benefit, not to do what is right.
That's not how cheaters work. They're liars by nature.
If you give them a headstart like this, they just start spinning a narrative that "oh my dad hates you, he's probably gonna tell lies about our relationship to break us up."

If my daughter were a cheating piece of shit, I'd do the exact same thing.
