While sitting in the St. Clair County Jail, William Camplin's eyes filled with tears as he talked about his stepdaughter, whom he molested, got pregnant, then shot eight times.
"Love is the most powerful thing in the world. You don't pick it," he said. "Even if it's wrong, you don't choose it."
Camplin told the judge he loved his stepdaughter like a husband loves a wife or a boyfriend loves a girlfriend.
"It's disgusting," said Camplin's stepdaughter, now 23 and whose identity is being withheld because she is the victim of a sex crime. "He raped me. It had nothing to do with love."
