I so agree TheAmbiguousSod,
I remember years back, thinking about the issue of rapist, after reading an extensive document in a magazine. One was the story of a rapist who ended by describing a scene which had happened to him as a child. He was living with a mother who had issues with violence, one day, as he was 12, she came in a rage to the public school where he was, managed to get into the classroom and once there after she was approached by her child, just put his pants down in front of the whole class. That was one of the element that had later transformed him into a rapist. The second story was the one of a young woman in a small town in northern france where the police was trying to track a serial rapist. One night she was getting back home late, and alone in the street started to hear someone pacing behind her. She lengthened her pace and the person followed her new slow walk, then she hastened and the person followed her the same way. She was panicking and suddenly as she was getting close to her apartment, she decided to turn around, went up to the man following her and said to him, I am really afraid , would you mind just accompanying me to my door which is a few yards way, and so, astounded apparently, so he did.
Two quite remarkable stories I thought.
