Serial Rapist Typologies

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Will be looking at the different types of rapists today. Briefly,
there's a lot of different typologies and they help law
enforcement understand the fender motivation and the methods and escalation.
But they aren't rigid boxes, and everybody actually differs in
which profiles they use. So let's take a look. Opportunistic
rapist is motivated by opportunity. When the chance arises, they act.

(00:22):
Crimes are often impulsive and not planned. Violence is usually
only to gain compliance, not to inflict additional harm. So
an offender who attacks a jogger in a park, for instance,
that they're spotting them alone. Another one is a power
reassurance rapist, what they call the gentleman rapist. Awfully, often
socially awkward or insecure, seeks to affirm masculinity. They may

(00:45):
even apologize during the assault and attempt conversation, believing this
victim secretly wants it, and I've even heard of cases
where they actually give their phone number to the victim
to call them up. Offenders who whisper reassurances while demanding compliance,
aiming to feel desired is the power reassurance rapist. The
power assertive rapist is driven by the need to demonstrate

(01:05):
dominance and manhood. Violence is used the control, but not
necessarily injure. Very impulsive happening in familiar areas like neighborhoods, workplaces,
or social circles. Date rapists who justify assault this proof
of their masculinity or entitlement. Another one is the anger
retaliatory one, which is a really dangerous one as well.
Just like the anger excitation rapist, but the anger retaliatory

(01:27):
retaliatory rapist is motivated by hate and rage towards women.
Attacks are sudden, brutal, and fueled by anger, often triggered
by life stress or rejection. A man who assaults women
after being fired or after a breakup. The anger excitation
rapists or sadistic rapists gains sexual pleasure from victims suffering
fear and pain. The methodical and ritualistic, often stalking the

(01:50):
victims and planning the abduction. One of them is Ted
Bundy right, who derived excitement from terror and torture of
his victims, especially after the rejection of the one girl
from the one Girl. Vindictive rapists motivated by need to
degrade and humiliate, uses derogatory slurs, verbal abuse, and physical harm.
Offenders who yell misogynistic insults while committing the insults. An

(02:11):
example a gang or group rapists, like the Central Park
Jarger case, where a group of teens attacked and raped
a woman in nineteen eighty nine. Offenders act in groups,
often due to peer pressure or gang rituals. Responsibilities diffused,
and violence may escalate in group settings. Opportunistic sadistic blend.

(02:31):
Some offenders start opportunistically but escalatingto sadism as they reoffend.
Violence increases and assaults become more ritualized. And offender who
initially attacks for sex but later mutilates victims as violence
becomes part of the gratification. Socially incompetent rapists often has
developmental or cognitive deficits, poor understanding of consent, or limited

(02:53):
social skills. They may genuinely believe their assault was normal intimacy.
An offender who assaults an acquaintance believe ving persistence equals consents.
This is the social incompetent. The exploitive rapists seeks immedia
gratification as assaults are quick and opportunistic. Burglary who rapes
a victim encounter doing a break in fantasies like Joseph DiAngelo,

(03:16):
who's a fantasy driven rapist who stock victims extensively and
escalated fantasies into attacks. These are crimes guided by violent
sexual fantasies, often rehearsed through pornography or daydreaming. Another one
is the power control Dennis Raider the BTK killer, who
have bound victims and relished their helplessness. Total domination is
submission as their goal. Another one is the custodial rapist,

(03:41):
exploits the position of power like a clergy or teacher
or cop or coach. Victims are often minors, and there's
a lot of different ones. The latest one of the
emerging typology is techa enabled US cases of online predators
coercing teams, the sexual acts later leading to in person
of So you can see there's a lot of different

(04:02):
typologies for rapists if it gets a complicated situation, but
it can't help investigators trying to figure out who this
person is, why they did it, that may give them help,
and trying to figure out if they haven't discovered who
it is. That's it for now.
