If he's gone and he's living on the street and has no money, just let it go. It won't be worth your time and money to sue someone who has no assets. Just be glad you're rid of him. If he sues (not likely) you will have to explain the situation to a judge, but it doesn't appear he has any grounds to sue if he voluntarily left.
