Show notes

Most people assume someone caught with child sexual abuse material is simply looking at images. Investigators, psychologists and behavioural specialists see somethingvery different. In this episode of Profiler Africa, Paul Llewellyn speaks to Dr Gérard Labuschagne and Kirsten Clark about the psychology of child sexual offenders, the growth of online exploitation networks, and the landmark Gerhard Alberts case that helpedchange how South African courts approached these crimes. A discussion about offender behaviour, cognitive distortions, digital investigations, risk assessment, and the uncomfortable reality that some of the most dangerous offenders can appear completely ordinary. 📩 profilerafricainfo@gmail.com
