He is/was a very strange case in that he only raped his daughter Elizabeth. No one claimed that he ever sexually assaulted his other kids. I wouldn't even call him a paedophile because age obviously wasn't much of a factor, he did start sexually assaulting her when she was 11 yes but he didn't stop when she aged up and she didn't have her first pregnancy until after imprisonment at 18. And since his victims were in the family I don't think he'd run much of a risk of being killed by the general public. It's really only paedophiles that go after kids at playgrounds and stuff like that, that really cause that public rage, that murderlust where society absolutely is a danger to them.
