He was a professional Australian rules footballer with the world at his feet. But behind closed doors he was repeatedly raping his two stepdaughters. This is their 40-year fight for justice.
Victor Ian Melville, 65, played Australian rules football across the country
He raped his two young stepdaughters behind closed doors on family holidays
Paedophile pleaded guilty to six sexual abuse charges in New South Wales
Former WAFL player already served eight years in WA for crimes against the girls
Stepdaughter said 'he took a life and a childhood that could have been different'
They are shocked he is still out on bail in WA despite being a serial paedophile
Two brave sisters have won a 40 year-long fight to bring their famous stepfather to justice after he repeatedly raped and abused them during family holidays around Australia throughout their childhoods.
Victor Ian Melville, 65, moved his family around as he played Australian rules football in South Australia and Western Australia for clubs including West Adelaide, Claremont and Subiaco during the late 70s and early 80s.
But behind closed doors the serial paedophile subjected his two young stepdaughters, Lisa and Julie Morgan, to repeated sexual assaults that are too sickening to publish, in a campaign of sexual terror that lasted for a decade.
Melville finally admitted his crimes in New South Wales last week, pleading guilty in the Sydney District Court to historical child sex charges, 15 years after being found guilty of 32 similar offences in Perth, suddenly reversing decades of denials.
On Thursday the Morgan sisters told Daily Mail Australia of their relief to find closure at last, but slammed a system they say took far too long to hold their stepfather accountable for his horrendous crimes and provide support for his victims.
They also expressed their outrage at the Sydney District Court's failure to seek revocation of Melville's bail, meaning he remains a free man living in the same Western Australian community as his victims while he awaits sentencing.

Inspectors Said Her Toxic Leadership Was 'Worst Seen in 20 Years.' She Just Became a 1-Star
Nine months before Air Force Brig. Gen. Jennifer Grant pinned on her first star, members of the team tasked with investigating her behavior in the years leading up to her promotion said they'd never seen airmen so afraid to face their commander.
The climate Grant created while leading the 50th Space Wing at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado was described as "tyrannical" and "toxic," by rank-and-file members and leaders alike. That's according to a 122-page Air Force Inspector General report on Grant's time leading the command from June 2017 to June 2019.
Investigators interviewed more than 60 witnesses, according to the report obtained by Military.com. The inspector general substantiated three complaints made about Grant: that she created an unhealthy work environment, failed to treat people with dignity and respect, and improperly accepted a gift from a subordinate.
The findings were released in October 2019. Grant was promoted to brigadier general last month.
The team tasked with investigating Grant's behavior while leading the 50th Space Wing described the conditions she set for her subordinates as "the worst seen in 20 years."
She created a "culture of fear," according to the report. A unit with pride in its mission saw its morale tank, according to the report, and was turned into "hushed masses afraid to speak up, speak out, or suggest meaningful innovation."
"Communications processes slowed to a standstill and were stifled both up and down the chain," the report states.
Perhaps most troubling, though, were three incidents between Grant and one of her airmen that inspectors say require closer examination. The airman died by suicide in March 2019 – the same year the Air Force saw a 33% spike in the number of personnel who took their own lives.
As one witness put it, Grant and the airman "clashed a lot."
"Do I think [her death] was a result of Colonel Grant? No. I don't," they told investigators. "… Do I think Colonel Grant caused additional stress in her life and challenges? Yes. I do."
