Somehow, calling dad JOSEPH ALLSOP a piece of scum seems like a disservice--to scum.

CORYELL COUNTY - A man arrested in Washington in August and charged with Capital Murder for allegedly sexually assaulting his infant daughter to death has been returned to Central Texas.

In January 2005, 5-month-old Jade Allsop was found dead by her father, Joseph Allsop.

It was initially believed that the child died from "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome," but after an autopsy, the findings were "undetermined" for the cause and manner of death.

According to the arrest affidavit, Allsop restricted the infant's air way while he sexually assaulted her.

During an interview by Special Agents of the Army's Criminal Investigations Division at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington where Allsop was stationed, he reportedly confessed to sexually assaulting "numerous young children," one of them being his now deceased daughter.

Allsop was extradited and booked into the Coryell County Jail on Saturday.
