The majority of aggressors vs. adults may be succinctly described as criminally inclined men who take what they want, whether money, material, or women, and their sex offenses are by-products of their general criminality.
Aside from their early involvement in crime, there are no outstandingly ominous signs in their presex-offense histories; indeed, their heterosexual adjustment is quantitatively well above average. There are occasional hints of underlying violence and sadism, but these are manifest in only a minority of individuals. In the sex offense itself, however, one can frequently see a basic pathology revealed by unnecessary violence, bizarre behavior, and self-delusion.
A minority of the aggressors vs. adults are not the amoral and anti social individuals often involved in criminal activities, but are seemingly rather ordinary citizens leading conventional or even restrained lives. Actually many are suffering from personality defects and stresses which ultimately erupt in a sex offense. A few aggressors vs. adults appear to be statistically normal individuals who simply misjudged the situation.
