The main antagonist is a murderous rapist. His only known victims are adult women. You could argue he is not actually sexually interested in the young girl, and is only looking to enact revenge against her dad. But he leers at her in a way that would suggest that yeah, he's a pedophile.

A family is stalked. I'm not sure child abuse is the right trigger warning for this film.

Once before the events of the movie.
Another rape (not shown) at approximately 30 minutes.
Later, the antagonist recounts an incident where he raped his ex-wife.

Not the word itself because it wasn't allowed at the time, but the act itself is alluded to or described several times
