Old Hollywood: He fled the village, abandoning the girl and his child for the rest of his life.

This long-deceased dictator is remembered as a paranoid and brutal mass murderer, responsible for millions of deaths. In his mid 30s, about a decade before he came to power, he fathered a child with a 13-year-old girl. She was younger than the legal age of consent in that country, even at that time. The location was remote, and he pledged to marry the girl, so he escaped criminal charges, due to the wishes of the girl’s family.
