You hit the nail on the head! I think your comment sums up what this investigation is about. What a sadist would do to another human being, particularly one he is supposed to be paying like you say, is at the core of this case.
And sometimes you get people who are just pure evil regardless of nature or nurture IMO.The so called "sworn testimony' has not yet been announced as being reliable. To me, that's not relevant to Ray's assessment of those who participate in sexual activity with other consenting adults, with or without their partners.
I would suggest you research upside-down pineapples and read some about law-abiding, not sexually deviant, couples and singles.
Ray's blaming these activities for having any part in RH being a sexual predator is wrong and contrary to any known research on sexual development and violence merging in the brain.
Traumatic events in childhood and during puberty can have a profound effect on the developing brain.
From one article:
"Data from previously conducted interviews, serial killers’ manifestos, and historical records were used to conduct a comparative analysis of the behaviors, techniques, and identification signatures of serial killers. Data were coded and categorized to identify the relationship between sexual fantasies and violent behavior. Results indicated that serial killers base their signatures and modus operandi on sexual fantasies developed through childhood traumatic experiences. Findings may be used to improve the profiling of suspects and mitigate the threat of serial killers’ violent behavior resulting in positive social change."
From Peter Vronsky, author, historian, SK researcher
"And often that capacity is grafted onto a sexual impulse – aggression sexualized at puberty."
Factors That Influence Violence and Homicidal Ideation Among Serial Offenders
Many studies have been conducted to identify sources of violence in serial killers, including environmental, biological, and mental disposition factors. However, serial killers’ sexual fantasies had not been explored. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive phenomenological study was to...scholarworks.waldenu.edu

I'd be worried about the wording of this, because I think it could potentially prevent, say, incest victims from writing books about their experiences.Lawmakers push to amend Son of Sam laws after Heuermann's estranged wife reportedly paid seven figures by Peacock documentary
Two new bills aim to amend New York's Son of Sam law to prevent family members of defendants from profiting off crimes.
Why couldn't they still write their book or be a part of documentaries? So long as they don't profit from the proceeds.
From this article, I had to look up the meaning of ghoul.Lawmakers push to amend Son of Sam laws after Heuermann's estranged wife reportedly paid seven figures by Peacock documentary

That seems like stifling free speech and punishing people who had absolutely nothing to do with the crimes, IMO.
How is it punishing people though? If they want to write a book, then go ahead, write a book, tell the world their story, which can be very healing. But why should they profit from sharing their thoughts, ideas or experiences about someone else's crimes? It's gruesome, repugnant, unfair, imo. This is my opinion and you may think it's fair game for people to profit off of crime. I do not agree and I applaud this politician for trying to make a change to a toxic system. MOO.
A scenario:
I enjoy 'true crime' books TV shows and films. In the book written by Truman Capote, and the movie based on the book, writers, authors, publishers, producers, actors and many others profited on someone else's crimes.
This proposed law, has good intentions, feels right, but doesn’t divert funds to victims, just might shift more profits to media firms who can profit from story but are blocked from paying certain sources.
I agree and it appears that they didn't think this through.
Mikal published his book in 1994. Gary Gilmore was executed in '77.
It's one of the best treatments of generational trauma and family dysfunction I've ever read. And if you stop people being able to write about that kind of thing, then there is going to be a great loss to the world of nonfiction. You're going to not only lose stuff like Gilmore's work, but virtually anything written by incest and domestic violence survivors. People deserve to be paid for their work, and mining your own pain to try to create something that other people can relate to and find comfort and kinship in definitely counts as work. Most of us can't afford to work for free.
I'm not taking a side, because I dont disagree with you or forest wood.but I will say this: sometimes getting the truth out is the motivation for a memoir or a documentary. The reward does not have to be financial profit.
Thank you!
