This is the vile tattoo of a paedophile who raped a 13-year-old girl pimped out by her own father in Australia’s most egregious child abuse case.
This week former Perth master builder Alfred ‘Freddy’ Impicciatore, 47, was found guilty of four counts of sexually penetrating the teenager.
He was the last of the so-called ‘Evil 8’ paedophiles – who variously raped, drugged and filmed the schoolgirl – to face court over the vile sexual abuse.
Now it can be revealed Impicciatore, described as a ‘chubby chihuahua owner’ by his victim, posted online that he had a tattoo reading ‘learn to love your inner monster’.
Last of the ‘Evil 8’: This week Alfred ‘Freddy’ Impicciatore, 47, was found guilty of four counts of raping a teenage girl who had been pimped out by her own father
‘Learn to love your inner monster’: Impicciatore uploaded a picture of a Where The Wild Things Are style tattoo to his ‘my tatts’ PInterest page prior to his arrest
Impicciatore uploaded a photo of the ink to his Pinterest folder, ‘my tatts’, at some point before his arrest in late 2015.
The folder contained pictures of other tattoos on his forearms, one of which was clearly visible during court appearances.
The page was wiped from the internet along with his other social media accounts after his initial arrest and can now be reported following the guilty verdict.
Impicciatore’s victim was raped or indecently dealt with by six other men, including the evangelical Christian pastor David Volmer, after her father pimped her out online. A seventh man’s case was later found to be unrelated to the girl.
The girl’s father, who cannot be named as it would identify his daughter, has been jailed for 22 years.
In his decision, Judge Mark Herron said the father met Impicciatore on the messaging app Kik after the builder posted an ad looking for ‘girls or women’.

The former builder was a surprisingly active user of PInterest
Impicciatore admitted sexually penetrating the girl in a police interview where he was described by the judge as ‘rattled’.
He said the girl’s father raped her first.
In the police interview, he said he was ‘spun out’ after being told the girl was 13-years-old. He claimed the girl’s father told him she was 17.
He said the father spoke to him about ‘you know, doing it on a regular basis and being best mates’.
‘It was really weird,’ he said.
During the judge-alone trial, Impicciatore’s lawyer John Hawkins argued his client’s admissions during the police interview were unreliable.
Impicciatore was stressed and anxious, ‘tired and cold’ and wanted to end the interview quickly, the court was told.
But the judge found ‘to an extent, his stress and anxiety were because… of (Impicciatore) knowing what he had done and having to face up to it…
‘He was troubled by what he knew he had done and was wrestling with his conscience’.
His DNA evidence was also found on a torn condom wrapper in the father’s bedroom, the court heard, and the judge found him guilty on all four counts.
‘SPUN OUT’: EXTRACT FROM HIS POLICE INTERVIEW
Impicciatore, at court
POLICE: Freddy, we’re talking about a 13 year old kid.
IMPICCIATORE: F***, you just spun me out.
POLICE: I know.
IMPICCIATORE: F***.
POLICE: But I’m going to lay it on the line for you.
IMPICCIATORE: Ah, god.
POLICE: We’re talking about a 13 year old kid that’s getting prostituted out by her father.
IMPICCIATORE: F***.
POLICE: That’s the bottom line here. Alright. So now —
IMPICCIATORE: Just f***ing (indistinct).
POLICE: I’m going to give you a break.
IMPICCIATORE: F***ing hell.
POLICE: And just give you time to process that…We’ll just have a little break.

Where are you going? Impicciatore was found in Merriwa, New South Wales, with female friend Rachel Galvin (pictured)
Impicciatore had a troubled journey to the guilty verdict.
On May 22, he skipped the first day of his initial trial.
Police blasted out an alert seeking his whereabouts, claiming he fled Western Australia with female friend Rachel Galvin and had dyed his hair red.
He was found with Ms Galvin more than 3,700km away in the township of Merriwa, two hours’ drive south of Tamworth, New South Wales.
‘The only rational inference which can be drawn from it, that he fled from a consciousness of guilty, reinforces the findings I have already made,’ Judge Herron said.
Impicciatore will be sentenced in March next year.
Asked about his client’s tattoos, Impicciatore’s defence lawyer told Daily Mail Australia he was unable to comment.
The girl is now in care and was said to be receiving treatment.
