There's plenty of things wrong with the Stanford family as I see it. I'm not excusing any of Vincent's actions, not for one second, but the family background seems tumultuous at best. Deadbeat dad abandons the family, mum moves the family to Europe, somehow things seem to fall apart there so they flee to Australia. It seems a separation between the twins was forced after they were back in Australia which to me lends credence to the idea that Vincent and Marcus were up to no good in the Netherlands. It's incredibly frustrating to me that Vincent was left alone on that Easter weekend to do as he pleased, but I truly believe that Anika and/or Luke couldn't have stopped him. They probably would have noticed strange behaviour from Vincent in relation to his stalking activities, yet I'm confident he wouldn't have been forthright with his family either way.
One thing re: the video interview footage with Vincent which has been released. In the footage he was still denying the sexual assault. I wonder if he ended up tendering this information to police or if they determined the assault happened through other means?
I think that when they found out that he had searched on google for "necro rape", they would have looked for evidence of that and questioned him thoroughly about it. Maybe he fessed up and/or they found the evidence. Maybe the condom they found gave them the evidence.
