AITA for showing my husbands family what hes been doing online?

New account because i dont use reddit at all but ive been so conflicted these past few days and desperately need new perspectives on this. So my husband (46 M) and I (39 F) have been arguing for 2 weeks after i went through his phone and found him pretending to be a 13 year old girl for money on an app called discord. My husband and i have been right under the lower middle class line our whole mariage, im a home at stay wife but have recently gotten a job as a lunch lady after our youngest kid went off to college, my husband is a construction worker and is frequently out of the house, about a month ago he came to me saying he had gotten a raise which meant more money and more time for him to spend at home. Obviously I was ecstatic. It wasn't until 3 weeks in that I grew incredibly suspicious. He would leave home around 11am and come back around 10pm ( his old schedule was 7am-9pm and supposedly his schedule was only going to change slightly), and he would spend a lot more time on his phone, my first thoughts were that he was cheating. It wouldn't be the first time he's done it (he kissed my cousin at our wedding and had a 4 month affair with one of his coworkers). So when he was in the restroom I went through his phone and I found multiple chats with 30 year old men in discord, and him claiming to be a 13 year old girl. Worst of all he was using our daughters' pictures to catfish these men. He was getting roughly 2k a week from all those men. Obviously I confronted him immediately and kicked him out of the house. He had the nerve to tell his family I was the one being crazy. So I sent all the photos I got from the chats and pictures he had ( I was planning on showing it to the police because one of the pictures he used of our daughter was her in the bathtub) and sent it to his family group chat and I left. That night I had 10+ missed calls from him and his family. The next day his sister called me saying she was on my side completely but the rest of his family was mad at me for sending it in the group just to start drama. Later I found out he was in fact cheating on me and  he did not get a raise at all, he had gotten laid off.  One of my friends said I was in the wrong too for doing all that and that I should've just gone straight to the police and not start drama. So AITA for sending all those screenshots to his family on their group chat?
