I think that you did the right thing by going to the Bishop--especially since this has ben going on for years.
Your Dad is a very sick puppy who has been putting on a front for far too long. Sadly this is probably far too common within the church, as far as addiction to porn--just my speculation.
I would ask your Bishop to release your Dad from his Boy Scout calling immediately if not sooner-- or ask your Dad to request to be released--if not, then I would threaten going to the parents.
Your Dad been living a big lie for years now--frankly I don't know how your Dad could have been still active in church putting on the 'front' all of these years and especially attending the Temple with all of this on his conscience--actually I wonder if he has one--denial can be a powerful thing.
I think by you carrying out on this (Bishop) you will be doing your Dad a big service in the long run--temporally and spiritually-- by not doing anything, the cycle will continue.
Porn is bad enough to get addicted to-- but when he escalates his craving by delving into rapes, incest etc. it is definitley time to get some past due help.
I admire you for not punching him out when you found out he viewed the rapes involving women of color--daughter in law scenerio.
