Sophisticated Predators rarely operate alone, as that is generally too risky, and limits their opportunities. In one way or another, the Sophisticated Predator surrounds himself with either naive enablers him (AKA "useful idiots"), or cunning co-conspirators, who know of the evils of the Predator yet turn a blind eye out of their own self-interest (which makes them a kind of predator-scavenger), or those who are Predators themselves.

 

Without fail, once a Predator is being unmasked, or a genuine Survivor reveals credible evidence or recollections of abuse, the Predator Apologists will quickly circle the wagons around the Predator, and begin a very energetic, coordinated, and methodical campaign to silence the Survivor and distort the picture.

 

How does one discern a skeptic from an Apologist? Simple. As, an Apologist has simply never been abused by a Predator, he/she has no intuitive sense of what a Survivor experienced, the effects of that abuse, the nature and extent of the multi-facetted dimensions of the impact of abuse in the everyday life of the Survivor. As such, they will inevitably only be able to sound convincing to non-Survivors, and those untrained. They will have learned enough by watching and reading to give their best performance, yet it will be hallow at best, contrived, staged, and inaccurate.

 

Simply put, let them talk long enough, or capture their Instant Messages when they think no one will see who they are once they start freely running their mouths, and the Apologist will reveal their ignorance, insincerity, their hypocrisy, their ineptness, their callous disregard for the pain of true Survivors, their despicable and darkened motivations, their malevolence, their willingness to threaten, their proclivity toward slander, their vile agenda, and their nefarious intent.

​

It is important to listen for what they will inevitably omit from any of their "conversations." They will keep the focus off the one thing they would naturally focus on if they were genuine Survivors, or truly cared about ensuring the safety and protection of victims and vulnerable kids. They would focus on learning how better to protect against and weed out any Sexual Predators. Sadly, this will conspicuous by its absence.

​

Another clear sign to look for to unmask a deviant Predator Apologist is the degree of emotional reactivity over protecting deviance and those who practice it. In the following, you will see a classic example of such emotional reactivity. This also can be seen by the fact that they will become very foul, despite sometimes leaving readily identifiable information on their social media page. However, the Sophisticated Predators will inevitably ensure there is no identifying information, as they know that can be used to trace them and any illegal online activities (child porn).
