If I hadn't been inside a California state jail, I wouldn't have thought twice about the two women in front of me.Both were attractive, respectful and articulate - seemingly the portraits of devoted educators whom any parent would gladly find at the head of a classroom.Two decades ago, in my role as a state-licensed therapist, I counseled women who were jailed for sex offenses against minors and ordered to undergo psychological treatment as part of their sentence.
I know how devastating the psychological damage wrought by sex abuse is – and how deceptive and remorseless these female predators can be.The typical physical profile of a female sex predator is a caucasian woman in her 30s, according to new research. Police initially charged her with the rape of a 12-year-old boy. Authorities now believe there may be up to 21 additional victims.But presenting to the world as 'ordinary' or even an exemplary example of an adult role model is a tactic offenders use to ingratiate themselves with a community and fool their victims into a false 'sense of safety.'
When I challenged her by informing her that she was harming these individuals, she replied, 'it never felt that way to me.' Of course, female sex offenders are not exclusively white or between the ages of 30- and 40-years-old – nor do they only target males. Forty-five-year-old Nebraska woman Erin Ward was allegedly caught naked in the backseat of her husband's car with a 17-year-old high school boy in April. Ward – a mother of three and wife to a Harvard-educated, high-ranking Defense Department employee – was a substitute teacher at the victim's schools.
Letourneau was convicted of rape and served 3 months in prison. She and Vili Fualaau had two children together, eventually married and then divorced Crippled by their insecurities, these perpetrators seek relationships that enable them to manipulate others – giving them a sensation of control that they otherwise are incapable of achieving in their everyday lives.
Ann Margaret Bacon , 24, told allegedly cops she had sex five times with an 18-year-old student in a hotel room in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota 'Am I right to say it's an unfair comparison to do the female-to-male teacher? Like a male teacher, 38-year-old, creepy. Female, heroic,' said Fox News' Greg Gutfeld said on his program last month. 'I don't condone it,' he concluded. 'I just envy it.'
