  11. J i m m y Jimmy is a 49 year old male and raped women in order to compensate for feeling inadequate about his social position. He feels it is an awful thing taking advantage of somebody. It gave him a sense of power, a sense of accomplishing something he felt he did not have the ability to get. He said if she would have screamed, yelled, or struggled he probably would have split.

  12. “It gave me power over her and her feelings didn’t mean anything to me at all.” “ The thing that mattered was the thrill.” He has no remorse and now believes that it is damaging to women, it’s unhealthy and thinks it is wrong. He admitted he had a low opinion of himself.

  13. R o g e r Roger said his choice to rape someone was instantaneous decision. His case was handled very delicately because he was an upper-class white male. His charges were dropped and was said to be insane and went to a mental institution. Roger said he had never been violent before and hasn’t since. He said the attack ruined his life.

  14. R o y Roy is a middle-class white male. He said when he was hurting her it was exciting and gave him a feeling of power. He did not feel guilty for what he did. He believed women are depersonalized and exist only for his use and pleasure. He admitted that his desires outweighed all other considerations. He has still not been caught but there is little chance he will. If he is caught there will be a less chance for him to be convicted. He’s a “regular guy”, not a criminal.
