Recent Cases:

Charles Moser, Ph.D., M.D.
Vernon Quinsley, Ph.D.

Studies of serial killers have noted the prevalence of sadistic and controlling behaviors in their modus operandi. With sadomasochistic fantasy as common as it is, why is it that only a small portion of those with this sexual proclivity become homicidal? In Part 2 of this installment, we explore the psychological and biological factors that distinguish sadomasochists from violent sexual offenders. The Forensic Panel assembled a group of noted experts in alternative lifestyles and deviant sexual behaviors in an attempt to answer this and other questions.
