I think Olivia was the instigator of the incestuous relationship - he mentions the shift when she was thirteen and he ten, and its in the undertone of how he thought he was free of her when she got married - that she forced the “relationship”. Olivia telling Ada she’s worried what he’d do to a girl is a way to try to disgust Ada, because she knows Samson likes her. She wants to ruin anything for him that isn’t herself. So, yes Olivia was alluding that he was a pedophile, but I think that was a manipulation on her part. (less)
