Sexual predators all too often destroy the magical world of childhood. Such predators are found in all walks of life. Many hold responsible positions and are respected members of the community, until they grow careless and a victim speaks out.
Victims are usually young and inexperienced.
They often suffer from low self-esteem and want to feel loved. The predator cons them, expressing friendship and offering gifts. The predator's goal is sexual intimacy shrouded in whispered secrecy. The victim usually feels great guilt, but it is not their fault. Years often pass before the victim discloses the crime.
