I reread your post about your conversation with law enforcement officer..and it made me think of something else. Sexual predators, those who don't get caught for a long time...spend an EXTREME amount of time and effort to create the wonderful guy persona...all the while, looking over their shoulders. At some point, they may get over-confident...and that is when the mistakes start appearing. They truly have a distorted perception of reality.

They're not dumb. Besides the need to relieve their guilt, they need to establish a support base . . . to cover future potential accusations. Yep. I think you got it there.

In response to your post 188 and the wonderful guy persona. I remember seeing a biography on Ted Bundy. he worked at a Crisis Hotline trying to talk people out of killing themselves. The people that worked with him said he was soooo compassionate. Naturally, their minds were blown to see this kind man was actually a serial killer.
