Hayden Rawlings



"Look, this child is being auctioned off and I am trying to save him!"

Hayden Rawlings was a pedophile who appeared in P911.

History
Hayden was a closet pedophile working as the principal of the Mark Twain elementary school, where he had great access to children. Not much else is revealed about his personal life, other than that he has a wife and three children. In P911, the BAU begin investigating him after visiting Kevin Rose, aka "Hugz", a young boy posting child pornography of himself online for money, in search of an abducted boy, Dustin Powers (then only known as "Peter"), from an online auction. They picked Rawling's IM username, "mehtevas" ("save them" spelled backwards), as he was local and had sent him a link to the auction. They had Kevin set up a meeting, knowing Rawlings, a need-driven pedophile, wouldn't be able to resist such an oppurtinity. After being identified outside the school where he worked, Rawlings was arrested by the BAU. When questioned about him sending the link to Kevin, he feebly claimed to have sent it in case Kevin knew him so he could save him and Kevin. After Reid and Elle found and unlocked hid laptop, they found a large collection of child pornography. Rawlings made a futile attempt at claiming it to be research for a book he was writing. When informed that the possession of the images was enough to earn him a 100-year incarceration in a federal penitentiary, he requested to make a deal, but was turned down. When asked, he confessed to making an $8000 bid for Dustin, the highest bid at the time. He begrudgingly gives them the access code to the auction chat room, allowing Agent Katie Cole to post a request to "inspect the merchandise". Unfortunately, the auctioner, Michael Earlson, sees a news report about Rawlings being arrested and temporarily shuts down the website.

Profile
Rawlings is a need-driven preferential pedophile whose type is young boys. Preferential pedophiles are very particular about their preferences﻿ and actively hunt children, usually taking jobs that give them access to them. Rawlings had a particular fantasy/delusion that he was trying to "save" his victims, which is what he thought he was doing when he tried to buy Dustin.
