Initially, you should file an action seeking an injunction against the student. Essentially this just asks the court to enter an order demanding that the student remove the offensive content and not to redeploy the offensive content.
You may also have an action for damages in tort law based upon this student's conduct if you can show that your husband has suffered some identifiable damage.
