You really dovetailed into the sex offences here.
We are talking about a man who was literally exonerated due to the primary evidence used for prosecution being absolute horseshit. The girl's mother has also flat out said "he did not do that".
Please remember that
Just going from the article.
The article said he was exonerated because the bite matching science was bunk. But she wasn't killed by biting, she was killed by drowning, so I'm not sure where the bite even came into play.
They never said he didn't rape or kill that baby. Just that he didn't bite her.
The girl's mother wasn't there. She left her baby alone with this guy. She doesn't think he'd do that because, as is commonly the situation (and thus, this becomes speculation), she lacked the self-confidence to meet a man who wasn't a child predator. That's one thing child predators do. They seek out poor women with low self esteem who have children who are a burden to them. "Oh yeah I'll stay at home with your child while you go to work," they say. They don't have to work, and they have free access to the child? Win-win in their book. Of course the guy treats them well, they give him all he wants. Many of them even excuse the abuse, they'll say their child seduced their man, their child was jealous, or the abuse isn't that bad, or whatever. Happens all the time. Again, speculation here but it is pretty common.
You are again building an entire scenario out of whole cloth - and worse, convinced yourself is the only possibility
If you read up a bit more there's further information that supports the conclusion - reached by Judge Sharp - of accidental drowning
