Reason why I ask is because some leagues require a "reinstatement fee" if a team forfeits a game. Some leagues even kick teams out of the league who have too many forfeits due to the hassle it's causing other teams.
Jurisdiction starts when you enter the field. You can rule on a protest despite apparent game-ending as long as you haven't left the field. You can (and he did) eject a player as long as you haven't left the field. So, hell yes, you still have jurisdiction over the game until you have left the field.

Even though no prosecutor would pursue it, I would urge you to file a complaint with the local police. It is the principle, and the message that this is unacceptable, that are important.
