Is he really a rapist?
What if, not only is he not a rapist, but the tales of his sexual prowess are false?
The Police guys daughter. What would happen if she were caught having sex with a man her alpha male father hates? Maybe she claims she was raped to save herself from her fathers wrath? This would explain why Hell is denying the claim when we first meet him.
As for his sexual prowess, we know he left a trail of ladies in his wake, but we him not wanting to have sex with ladies in the film, even when they throw themselves at him. Maybe the legend of Hell and the man who is Hell are not the same. Maybe he likes ladies, but has terrible judgement and keeps getting into trouble and run out of towns? Then add in some telephone game, and Hell because sex craved maniac. Maybe?
RIP Piper.
