Vernon Geberth wrote
an 800-page book to assist law enforcement officers in investigations of
sex-related homicides, where he shows a connection between pornography and sex
crimes. Here are excerpts from Geberth's book that link pornography to
violent sex crimes.
In one case on which the author consulted, the victim was an
attractive middle-aged single woman . . . . The
suspect, who was a fetish
burglar, . . . acted out his most perverse fantasies with her body. . . . The
suspect made
multiple 1-900 sex-line phone calls throughout the day and night
from the victim's residence…He also
brought pornographic magazines into the
scene and a list of 1-900 numbers, which were matched to his
calls from the
victim's residence by detectives. He engaged in sadistic sexual activities with
the victim's
body...." [pp. 16-17]
"Sadistic fantasies or acts
may involve activities that indicate the dominance of the person over
the
victim…as in the case depicted in The Perfect Victim (McGuire & Norton
1988). This case
involved Cameron Hooker and his wife Janice. Cameron Hooker's
fantasy was to dominate and
torture nude women who were bound and helpless. His
fantasies were fueled by an extensive
collection of hard-core pornography that
featured bondage, leather and handcuffs, and
whips…At one point during this
torture, [a victim] was able to see through the bottom of her
blindfold. She saw
a picture of a naked woman hanging in much the same position that she was
hanging. Apparently, Cameron was using this sadistic pornography to script his
fantasy into
reality." [p. 23 and p. 741] [p.741 much the same position that she was
hanging. Apparently,
Cameron was using this sadistic pornography to script his
fantasy into reality." [p. 23 and p.1]
