Denial. How hard would it be for you to find out that someone you fell in love with, married, and then had children with is an active pedophile? Good lord! That is possibly on of the worst things to happen to someone. Most of why it is allowed to continue is in the denial of those who should know. Beyond that, we move into fear and self preservation. It could also be culural.
Edit: I should mention that it's not always the bio father, but most of the time it is someone in the immediate family/circle of friends. Anyone from an uncle to a sunday school teacher to a very close neighbor could be in this group.
