Reconverted old pedophile sex offenders of elderly women

Dutch and French doctors have warned their colleagues in The Lancet, a prestigious medical journal, three converted cases of old pedophile in gerontophilia.

The medical journal The Lancet recently published a letter from French and Dutch doctors reveals that older men who committed sexual assaults on residents frail older homes or nursing homes were found to be former pedophiles. The three attackers were aged respectively 68, 82 and 85 years.

The three men were suffering from major disabilities and moved with difficulty (with cane or walker), but this did not stop to look for sex and conduct disorders games with old ladies, aged from 85 to 104 years, generally unable to react and cognitive impairment of Alzheimer type.

Within three to six months after their arrival, the nursing staff noted unusual events, including sexual collective excitations. Some pseudostrangulations between women have been reported. This way to tighten the neck would be a game that predators have learned their "charming gentlemen, apparently fragile" too, according to the practitioner.

The staff of the institutions involved - helps caregivers, doctors - had noticed happened disorders as vaginal yeast infections, anal bleeding but usually do not bother to report them.

After investigation, it appeared that two of the assailants had been convictions for child rape and spent respectively 5 and 12 years in prison. The third is suspected of raping his nephew, but escaped to the court. The doctors who signed the article questioned the nature of these transfers of libido children on senile persons.
