I prosecuted a guy like that once. He would hang out at the playgrounds and take videos of the young girls. Then he would go home and make video compilations of them, mixed in with videos of some other disgusting things I will not mention here. He had a cat, and next to the cat box he had a remote controlled toy backhoe that he used to clean the cat box with.
A very weird dude, to say the least.
Oh, I forgot to mention his daytime job; he worked in a dental lab. He made sets of false teeth. One the investigating officers had a partial that the guy made. The officer wasn’t happy about it.
What an interesting story! I hope the guy got a suitable sentence.
The pedophile I knew had a pet theory. It was that most abusive guys have low IQs. He had a spectacularly high IQ, which I guess made him feel superior to ordinary pedophiles, etc.
From what I’ve seen, deviance runs the spectrum. IQ is not a factor; the very smart, the very stupid, and everyone in between can be affected.
