He is my wife's new boyfriend and has been using her email account & FaceBook account to send me threating messages; paticularly the last one where
he says "we will meet and i promise you you wont like it"
and if so, How do I proceed in bringing charges... I understand he is already on probation? The messages he sent are as follows:

1 Answer from Attorneys
The question of whether to bring criminal charges is solely up to the District Attorney. Neither you nor anyone else has that authority. Bring the matter to the police and/or the District Attorney and they will decide whether or not to press charges. You will not get in trouble for bringing the matter to the police and/or the DA, even if they do not feel that the evidence shows that a crime was committed.
By the way, please do not post profanity on the site. I realize that you were not being profane yourself and that you were just quoting what this other person said to you, but try to excercise some restraint and redact the expletives somehow in the future, as a courtesy to others.
