The biological father didn't get full custody, but he did get more visitation rights. He will now be able to have his daughter unsupervised for a week at a time.

Here's another wrinkle... I did tell my wife about my doubts, and she took it well. But reminded me that she does talk to her sister often (the nephew's mother) and that when her sister was there once when the little girl came home from a visitation, she witnessed swelling and blood on her genitals. This was reported to the police. (I also remember talk of a pubic hair being found... but I'm not sure if this was the same incident).

I just find it hard to believe that there could be such obvious evidence, and yet not only is the guy not being charged with a crime, he is being given more visitation rights.

Another thing... my nephew's wife claims that she was date-raped by the guy, and that other women have had the same thing happen, but they're all afraid to come forward. And there was no evidence of rape, because he kidnaps these women and keeps them long enough that there could be no evidence.

I'm faced with 2 scary possibilities. Either our justice system is way out of whack (why isn't anyone prosecuting this guy?)... or my nephew married a whacko.
