first, I have seen this episode and most other Doctor Who episodes - I pretty much obsessed over the series for a good few years.. now let me explain why he can not be a CM.

1) he is never physically seen in the episode, all his abuse is off-panel and he dead before the events of the story took place.. his daughter had horrible memories but the man responsible was dead.

2) the "Mr. Webber" we did encounter (briefly) was just a "made of evil" thought form embodying the little girl's fear of her abusive father.. the thing had no purpose other than to seek out and terrorize the person that summoned it, akin to playing out a "past life" or memory.

3) even if Mr. Webber was a horrible abuser and criminal he is nothing in the grand scheme of Doctor Who.. there are millions of depraved villains in Doctor Who.. the series is known for being dark as mud despite its often silly looking effects, the villains tend to be extremely willing to do MEH crimes and the heinous standards are thus immense.. as horrifici as abusing your wife and child may be they are NOTHING compared to the Satanic crap a lot of other Doctor Who villains do on a regular basis.. Davros and Valeyard alone vastly outstrip Mr. Webber's heinous levels.
