Actually, in the White Gold Weilder series (total of 6 books), the main character *Thomas Covenant* has leprosy and rapes one girl, then in a later book, rapes the daughter of that union before he finds out she is his daughter.

White Gold Wielder by Stephen R. Donaldson
White Gold Weilder is a well-written fantasy novel that contains the key features needed to write a fantasy novel. Plot, characters, setting and the use of supernatural and unreal features such as the magic in Thomas Covenant's white gold ring and the evil Banefire. This book is brilliant in the way it enchants its audiences by drawing them into a world where anything is possible. All in all White Gold Weilder is a brilliantly compiled fantasy novel for all ages.
