Most of the sexual serial killers chose to act out their violent sexual fantasies against children, the elderly, or victims around their own age. These killers tend to lie and manipulate the people who interview them (Schlesinger, 2004).Īccording to Hazelwood and Warren (2000), sexual crimes can be committed against a person, object, or an animal. It is still uncertain if this is true for motivation since it is often incomplete and inaccurate. Since many of these serial killers were brutally dominated growing up, they sought out women who tend to look similar to their mothers and wanted the sense of dominating them. In the research, many theorists stated the motive was a seeking or revenge. To the naked eye sexual killings seem to be motiveless, but theorists believe that there was some sort of motive. Fourth, many of these offenders’ records are not accurate since these killers refuse to cooperate when it comes to talking about their history. Third, many statistics of the actual number of sexual murders have not been kept. Second, many murders are labeled as sexually motivated, but actually are not, vice versa.

First, there is no general definition to sexual serial killing. Most of the time the killing itself is sexually gratifying (Schlesinger, 2004).Īccording to Schlesinger (2004), many sexually motivated killings are hard to define. These killers usually have obvious underlying sexual conflicts. In some cases, the killer starts by molesting, raping, and then murdering their victims. These killers “get off” on the pain they inflict, but many times, just the act of the torture that sexually arouses the killer. Sexual serial killers enjoy inflicting pain upon their victims, they enjoy watching their victims struggle and cry for help. These types of killers tend to hide their “weaknesses.” They hide behind a mask of psychopathic narcissism of severe aggression. Sexual serial killers grew up with constant trauma, and being born of prostitutes (Knight, 2007). The negatives do outweigh the positives, but it is uncertain how much or if this is even true. Sexual serial killers live in a world of negative and positive. They tend to kill in areas that may be unfamiliar to them. They usually choose their victims on a whim. The disorganized sexual killers do not take the time to plan everything. Watching their soon victims closely, choosing a particular kill destination, and a place to leave the dead body usually in areas they know well. Organized sexual serial killers plan their kills, by choosing a particular victim. There are two types of sexual serial killers, organized and disorganized with both usually leave a signature (Knight, 2007). They usually only commit their fantasies on women, mainly prostitutes (Pakhomou, 2004). It is unknown if sexual serial killers were obsessed with pornographic images, but they enjoy living out their sexual fantasies that lead to murder. It is thought that sexual serial killers have “mommy issues,” since their father had left when they were young, leaving the mother in charge of the caring. They have a history of sexual and physical abuse during their childhood. These types of serial killers are usually married and have children. Sexual serial killers are usually very charismatic and can easily persuade their victims to go with them no matter the situation.
