I would use caution. If there is a recording without the father's permission, it will be inadmissible in court. You may want to speak to law enforcement and have them assist you, as they can obtain a warrant and get the information they need without violating the law.
The decision to charge someone with child abuse is made by the district attorney after getting a report from the police. The DA will only charge the father if the police present sufficient evidence to get a conviction. You ought to to the police or to child protective services if you think your child is being sexually abused.
