Profile
Pablo is a power-reassurance rapist and can’t have normal relationships with women, they lack confidence, are non-athletic and passive. The rapist daydreams that the victims are his girlfriends, and, of all the types of rapists, he’s the most likely to run if the victim screams or struggles. The killer/rapist may also dress like a woman.

Modus Operandi
