OK, the movie didn't overly focus on necrophilia, so that's pretty good. Anyway, JT doesn't count. For one, as he died from the wounds inflicted by the zombie girl, not only does he make Rickie promise not to tell his grandmother about everything that he had done, but he also offered to bite a dying Joann (Rickie's love interest), so that she would continue to live as an undead person. Sure, on screen, he never has any interactions with his grandmother (to the point that he jokingly said that she was near death), him making Rickie promise to keep his mouth shut seems to suggest that he has some affection for her. While he had threatened Rickie with a gun, he seems to genuinely think that turning Joann into a zombie girl would be in his best interest.

There's also the question on whether or not he is heinous by the standards of the film. While he had continually raped the zombie girl for weeks, and attempted to zombify Joann so that he and his friend, Wheeler, could have another sex slave, Rickie ultimately allows the near-dead Joann to get bitten, thus making her into a Deadgirl. The film then ends with him making her his sex slave while the original Deadgirl escapes from the psychiatric hospital. Yeah, I would argue that this is a simple MEH crossing, but is JT really more heinous? Besides multiple accounts of rape and kidnapping, he had also killed the Deadgirl three times just to prove a point that she couldn't be killed, and he tricks Johnny, the generic jock of the high school, into having oral sex with the Deadgirl (thankfully, it's not explicit). Of course, that ends up going as well as you'd think, and he becomes infected. Once he died, JT realized that whatever infection that the Deadgirl had was contagious.
