The model blamed by virgin killer Elliot Rodger for his hatred of women is 'absolutely devastated' that she has been linked to the massacre, her father revealed today.

Stunning blonde Monette Moio 'teased and ridiculed' Rodger after they met at school, sparking his vendetta against female kind, he claimed in his rambling 141-page manifesto.

Enacting his 'revenge', he stabbed three friends to death at his home before shooting dead two sorority sisters and another male student in Santa Barbara on Friday.

But now Monette's father, Hollywood stuntman John Moio, has defended his daughter, saying it is ridiculous to even suggest she played a part in Rodger's spiral into a mass murderer.

Speaking from his home in West Hills, California, he told MailOnline: 'She was ten years old for God's sake - she can barely remember the guy. He's a sociopath. She hasn't seen him since school.'

'She's devastated over the whole thing,' he went on. 'It's like she's being implicated in this terrible tragedy for something she hasn't done and can't remember.'

He added that Rodger's claims that Monette had 'teased' him were impossible.

'How is a ten-year-old girl going to bully a 12-year-old boy?' he asked. 'Maybe the girls she hung around with did poke fun at him, but they were kids.

'My daughter was not a bully, she's one of the sweetest people you could ever meet. She probably rejected his aggressive advances. If you want to call that bullying then fine.'

Mr Moio added that he and his daughter only remember Rodger as a 'strange kid'.

'He was weird then and he's weird now,' he said. 'He had a secret crush on her, but she was completely unaware of him. She had no idea... If you think about it, he could have killed her, he could have come after her.

'I was hands on at that school and I don't remember him. She just remember that he was a strange kid, she knew he wasn't a normal type person, but there are a lot of people like that at that age.'

But he added that his sympathy was with Rodger's parents - who alerted the police to the manifesto after they received a copy - and for the six young victims. He also had some sympathy for the killer.

'I also feel sorry for him because he obviously wasn't getting the proper help,' he said. 'From what I understand he was receiving psychological help two years before he met my daughter. I am not here to judge anyone.'

He added: 'My heart goes out to the victims' families. God bless them.'

Rodger, son of Hunger Games assistant director Peter Rodger, regularly visited 54-year-old Mr Humphreys’ home for barbecues and befriended Maddy.

In his manifesto he wrote: 'This girl who was my friend, would eventually come to represent everything I hate and despise; everything that is against me, and everything that I'm against. I was playing innocently with this girl, in the manner that all children play. We even took baths together; it was the only time in my life that I would see a girl my age naked.'

The two stayed in touch through their families until August last year when she went to his house for dinner. He later stalked her on Facebook and concluded that she and her friends at the University of Southern California were 'spoiled.'

He wrote: 'I would take great delight in torturing and flaying her and every single one of her spoiled, obnoxious, evil friends.' Rodger, who had Asperger's Syndrome, emailed his manifesto to his parents and his psychiatrist before going on the rampage in Santa Barbara.

First he stabbed to death his fellow students Weihan Wang, 20, and Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, at their shared apartment. The body of another student, George Chen, 19, was also found there.

His next victims were Veronica Weiss, 19, and Katherine Cooper, 22, both shot outside a student house near the campus.

He then drove in his black BMW 3 Series to a grocery store and opened fire, killing his sixth victim, English major Christopher Michael-Martinez, 20.

In his manifesto, Rodger had launched a scathing attack on the women he met throughout his life, saying he did not understand why they did not find him attractive. His hatred started with Monette, he said.

'The way I was treated by girls at this time, especially by that evil b**** sparked an intense fear of girls,' he wrote.

'The funny part of this is that I had a secret crush on Monette. She was the first girl I ever had a crush on, and I never admitted it to anyone.

'To be teased and ridiculed by the girl I had a crush on wounded me deeply. The world that I grew up thinking was bright and blissful was all over. I was living in a depraved world, and I didn’t want to accept it.

'I didn't want to give any thought to it. That is why I immersed myself entirely into my online games like World of Warcraft. I felt safe there.'

Monette's brother, Ashton, is an actor who had a small role in the Hunger Games. In the manifesto, Rodgers also him, lambasting him as one of the 'popular' kids and describing his jealousy at learning he was becoming an actor.

Rodger also blamed other girls in the manifesto for his pain, and there is no suggestion that these women share any blame for his heinous crimes.

In another show of bitterness, he named another beautiful classmate who he believe he was meant to be going out with throughout college. He said how, like an 'obsessed stalker', he found her on Facebook.

'What I found shattered my already wounded heart to pieces,' he wrote. 'She had a boyfriend. Not only that, but her boyfriend was the type of boy I have always hated and despised: a tall, muscular surfer-jock with a buzz cut.

'As I looked at all the pictures of the two of them together, I shivered with pure hatred... I wanted to kill both of them, and I was capable of doing it. [The girl] should have been mine, and if I can't have her, no one should!'

He wrote how he fantasized about killing him and forcing her to watch.

'I dropped my math class immediately after learning that [she] had a boyfriend,' he wrote. 'I couldn't look at her beauty anymore, knowing that some punk was able to enjoy having sex with her every day.'

Soon after, he dropped all of his classes.

'I didn't want to torture myself with going to college and looking at all of those beautiful girls I could never have,' he explained. 'The only thing I could do was even the score. I wanted to make everyone else suffer just as they made me suffer. I wanted revenge.'

Rodger, who moved to the U.S. from the U.K. when he was five, also named a British girl he made friends with when he relocated to the Los Angeles area.

But he said they grew apart after she became more popular, writing: 'My first friend in America had grown up to represent the type of people who have caused me so much pain in my life. She would eventually come to represent everything I hate.'

The girl's stepfather told MailOnline that he didn't want to comment on how she was coping, but added: 'It’s tragic, our heart goes to everyone, to the victims and all their families.'

He also detailed his loathing for the stepdaughter of a family friend who was a year younger than him.

'My fear of girls made me keep my distance from [her]. She was a total b**** anyway, and her attitude would only get worse. She is a true representative of everything I hate about women.'

The women are to talk to the FBI to determine how he turned into a killer, the Mirror reported.

He also shared his hate for women in a video posted online called Elliot Rodger's Retribution.

He unleashed a tirade about his 'loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires,' and blamed women for preferring 'obnoxious brutes' to him, 'the supreme gentleman'.

'I'm 22 years old and I'm still a virgin. I've never even kissed a girl,' he said in the video.

'College is the time when everyone experiences those things such as sex and fun and pleasure. But in those years I've had to rot in loneliness. It's not fair. You girls have never been attracted to me. I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me. But I will punish you all for it.'

He repeatedly promised to 'punish' women and lays out his plan for 'retribution' in the video.

'I'm going to enter the hottest sorority house of UCSB and I will slaughter every single spoilt, stuck-up, blonde s**t that I see inside there.

'All those girls that I've desired so much, they would've all rejected me and looked down on me as an inferior man if I ever made a sexual advance towards them,' he said.

'I'll take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you. You will finally see that I am, in truth, the superior one. The true alpha male. Yes... After I have annihilated every single girl in the sorority house I will take to the streets of Isla Vista and slay every single person I see there. All those popular kids who live such lives of hedonistic pleasure...'

On Friday, Rodger, the son of Hunger Games assistant director Peter Rodger, acted upon his threats, killing six people before shooting himself dead.

Weihan Wang, 20, of Fremont, and Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, of San Jose, were both stabbed to death by Rodger on Friday at the apartment they had shared with him.

The body of another UCSB student, George Chen, 19, of San Jose, was also found at the apartment, but he did not live there.

Rodger then climbed into his SUV and drove towards the Alpha Phi sorority house, where he shot dead Katherine Cooper, 22, and Veronika Weiss, 19.

He then got back into his car and drove to a nearby deli, where he opened fire. There, he killed student Chris Michael-Martinez, 20, in an attack that was captured on surveillance footage.

The gunman then climbed back into his car and continued to shoot at passersby as he drove, hitting three pedestrians before he police officers returned fire and shot him in the hip.

He tried to escape and knocked down a cyclist, before he eventually shot himself in the head and smashed into parked cars.

When police found his body, he was surrounded by three semi-automatic handguns and nearly 400 rounds of ammunition, which had all been purchased legally.
