This incident is so incredibly rare, as in it happened in Modesto, CA and that becomes a big national story type of exceedingly rare, that you'd be better off being worried every day that your kids might get struck by lightning or eaten by sharks.

Hey, Back in 1957 my dad was 27, mom was 17. For that time, it was probably a horrible thing. But the truth of the matter was, my grandma was dirt poor, the kids in the house had been being abused by men that would come and go and my dad gave her a clean, safe home to live. He worked 2-3 jobs so they could have a better life. They were married 43 years until he passed. I'm sure many thought he was a cradle robber. Sometimes, it's not always about just sex.
