My abusive ex has a new girlfriend.

Exactly. It’s just going to be emotionally draining and you do not need to be a “hero”. I put hero in quotation mark because I couldn’t think of another word. I understand the intentions and I may just be speaking from a biased experience.

When I went through all the breakup crap last year, the new girl was all up in my social media saying I had no proof and spoke shit about me. But my ex had no proof and she was willing to entertain him. I had proof, but why should I send it to someone I don’t even know or who spoke badly about me and made judgements before even knowing me.

She reached out to me again months later and told mer her experience with my ex. Did I sympathise? Yes, but I didn’t want some involvement with an individual that treated me badly at the start.

Unfortunately, as cruel as it sounds, you have to move on from it. It is draining. Are you going to warn every other new girlfriend that your ex is tied with?
