Wow, this is just extremely disrespectful, and I can't believe you took the time out of your day to spew this hate filled post and claim that those who are abused must feel this way. I was abused around 8 years old till I believe as far as I can remember around 10, although the timing could be off because I honestly can't piece together an actual timeline of my earlier life. My stepbrother abused me almost every weekend, and unfortunately the issue isn't that predators are innately inhuman, it's that they are extremely human and can be pretty much the last people you'd expect. I'm not sure I'll ever really be who I was meant to be before the abuse started because I was still forming who I was at the time. What the abuse left me with was sadness, anger, and unfortunately a lot of empathy for almost anyone. It would be a lot easier to be able to say that all sexual predators are in-human abominations but I have encountered one and except for the abusing he was normal. You claim that the chances that he recanted his previous infatuations are slim, I agree, but just as not every man who is attracted to a woman is a rapist, not every person who is attracted to teens is a molester. He served his time, and is now under court supervision. This situation could have been dealt with quietly instead of rehashing old crimes in a public forum and bringing others with their hate filled vitriol similar to yours, or trolls just happy for an easy target down on Runevillage. As a victim of abuse, that's MY take on the matter, next time don't make claims as if you speak for everyone and don't throw around assumptions that aren't true.
