Is this adult child paying you rent?
If you said NO, then no steps need to be taken since they aren't a tenant.
If this child is in fact paying rent, then they must be treated like any tenant would be.
My gut here is that this child isn't paying rent. So you can kick them out.
How old is he?
Set his belongings on the porch and change the locks come to mind.
Tell them when to be out and wave good bye as they leave.
Ground rules should be set as to how long an adult child can stay in a home. If they are working they should pay rent. If they are not working or going to college then they should be given a small amount of time to find a job or be out.
And even if they are working and you no longer want them home, just tell them to get out.
If you want to be real "official" give them a two week written notice.
Of course if they just won't leave, while I would just move their clothing to the porch, you could go ahead to the court and file to have them evicted.

As nobody saw it they couldn't prove it and so it goes on. I can't believe I have brought up a son who behaves like this when he comes from a solid family home.

You can go to the District court and tell them you want to do a formal eviction on your son.
Go through the legal process if that doesn't work I don't think anything will.
