1) Someone with an enduring pervasive sexual desire for under age victims (there are subcategories)
2) Collects child










This guy checks both boxes, he even alludes several times in that interview to his "Problem" , as most do when they get caught , all the sudden they "have a problem" and "need help", but had they not been apprehended, they wouldve continued for as long as they could .
Its very rare that they ask for help BEFORE they commit some type of offense, and the longer they utilize, child




, the more difficult it becomes, to not offend with an actual victim themselves.
SO what are we looking at ?
Using the old typology model , there are 4 types of child molester, and 3 types of pedophiles
3 Types of Pedophiles:
Seduction
Introverted
Sadistic
The second most common type of pedophile (which we know he is by admission and because he has a "problem") -is the Introverted Pedophile
The Introverted pedophile, is more akin to the old image of the dirty old man at the park, he is a socially inept individual with weak social connections, usually very few if any friends would usually be described as "odd" by those around him.
Some may refer to them as "social marginals", they often struggle with employment, they tend to work in blue collar unskilled jobs, and find work where they can, they may or may not be in a relationship at the time of the offense, but if they are , its often under conditions, where their partner is often aware of something amiss, if not fully aware of the individuals preference. This type may also become involved with a partner who has children their preferred victim age or have children with this particular partner in order to molest their own children.
They often live with parents, or friends, they often move around often, usually due to their deviant nature and discovery of their crimes .
His hobbies will usually be child oriented, usually something in their preferred victim age range, in this day and age it could be anything to do online. or gaming etc..
The Introverted type because of his inability to relate to his desired victims, and the inability to seduce them, is usually is left to brief encounters, such as exposing himself to kids, they rarely but may abduct a victim, but more often he will often assault them where in the general vicinity of where they made the initial contact. If he does abduct a victim, the abduction and assault are usually in quick fashion , full on rape is rare but that is dependent upon certain factors .
This type has a higher likelihood to act violently, then the Seduction pedophile who is looking for a relationship with his victims, and less than the Sadistic type pedophile, who requires pain and suffering from a victim in order to become sexually aroused, but they can and do sometimes commit acts of violence up to and including murder.
Other psychological diagnoses are also common with this type .
In terms of evidence this if often evidenced by the impulsive unplanned nature of their crimes, the murder weapon is often what is at hand, strangulation is the most common means, followed by stabbing/slashing, then blunt force.
In General sexually motivated killers of children are unlike other criminal predatory types , in which that even serial child killers, are not out actively trolling for victims, they are more like killers in waiting , in which the decision to act, is triggered by the victims vulnerability.
The main factor is usually the child being away from an adult presence. They rarely if ever have any physical preference for attributes (Blonde hair etc..) and the younger their preferred victim type the less the gender of the victim mattered.
This also holds true for cases, that are part of a series, unlike killers of adults that may have a criteria for their victims, those who prey upon children usually only need an opportunity.
Because of their inability to directly communicate with their preferred victim type, the introverted pedophile may utilize other methods, such as online, or other anonymous methods to communicate with their preferred age group .
Collection of commercially produced child











is common with this type.
