Why do people sexually assult / rape other people? What goes on in their minds?

Why do they do it?
Are they mentally ill?
Or do they like to control people?

I got sexually assulted 2 days ago.
A middle-eastern guy kept on grabbing me & pressed his crotch against my bum. It was caught on cctv, is it bad enough to report it to the police?

  • You can report anything you want to the police, that is why your taxes pay for them. If this guy was grabbing you, why didn't you remove yourself from the situation the first time? (not saying you are wrong by any means)

    Also, just as a thought, why would people think men who touch women inappropriately are mentally ill? It is a natural instinct for a guy to want that since the beginning of time some people cannot prevent their urges. Whether or not it is right is a different argument.

    I'm so glad I'm male and can walk down the street at 2am and not think about being raped everyday. This world is just sad.

    • I was so shocked, that my mind went blank. And i did move away but he came closer to me. It was in a small, crowded room.

    • If you removed yourself from the situation, and made it known you did not like that. And he came toward you and continued doing it. Call the police. I'm a huge advocate for defending those falsely accused however that is enough warning in my opinion for a guy to understand the situation and stop. If he didn't then that is his fault and can pay the consequences.

    • And there was another time when he "jokingly" grabbed my bum... but i didn't think anything of it, until this happened.

  • Sexual assault is a crime of violence, not a crime of sex. It's about humiliation and domination.

    As for reporting it, that's up to you but reporting it does sign you up for a long series of difficult situations.

  • That's absolutely this disgusting, I'm sorry this happened to you, I hope your okay.

    I'd report him straight away to the police, I understand what it's like in England and sometimes people in your situation don't get real justice especially like the suspect is a immigrant because people are afraid of being called racist but honestly do what ever you can to make sure this never happens again and he learns his lesson.

    I absolutely hate men like this total scum of the earth and you did nothing wrong and you should never feel ashamed or embarrassed to talk to people about this.

  • There is no justification for why a person would do that. It is truly fucked up. Your evidence is enough to go to the police with. I hope you have someone to talk to, and is there to support you. Sorry that you had experienced such horrible thing by a cruel and evil person.

  • Why? They are sexually charged and have no respect for women, plus it gives them total control over the person which makes them feel powerful. Any sexual assault is a crime and should be reported, never feel its not warranted especially if its caught on camera.

    • Be careful over there in the UK, I know there's been an increasing amount of situations like this with the middle eastern immigrants

  • Theyre thinking straight but they are selfish, greedy, and obsessing about the person or their privates.

  • Control. To degrade. "Power and prowess"

  • Desperation, lust for dominance and lack of self control seem to be common causes.

    Report it to the police.

  • I would report.

    • I am sorry to hear. Its desire... lack of respect. If they get away w without recorse... they keep doing and gets worse... maybe to others. Have to be put in their place

  • Entitlement.
    They think they are entitled to touch you.

  • They’re desperate and psychopathic

  • He was an muslim? what a surprise, one more rapeugee who had come to UK.

  • That is definitely bad enough to report it.

  • Yes it's bad enough to report to the police. Male rapists and sexual molesters don't respect women. They may even hate women. They only think about their compulsions, their base needs. They are parasites.

  • Goodness, sorry you had to go through that. Not appropriate at all!
    Unfortunately some people do not share our values.
    Good chance he considered it "normal" from his point of view. So sad :-(

  • Why men do this is above my pay grade, but yes report it to the police.

  • My friend almost got raped. Horrible.

  • Because they're desperate for sex

    • He has a wife and children. So thats weird.

  • I'm sorry about your misfortune , yes you have evidence
    you should report it to the police , people who sexually
    assault others are sick in the mind, you need to take self
    defense classes for yourself. If you need talk i am here
    to listen trust me i don't judge one against this matter
    and it's horrible when someone does these things.

  • `it's rape time`
    something like that?
    Probably a power/dominance thing.

  • maybe to horny to control it

  • Why the fuck didn’t you move?

    • Sometimes you are so shocked you don't know what to do.

    • Oh that’s how it works?

    • @Danny_dan92. Have you ever been assaulted? Amongst the women in your life, at least one of them was assaulted; ask her what it is like.

  • It's a demon

    • And I think if u feel in danger in anyway that u should report it. Don't wait until late to say something. Because u can be saving another person from getting sexually assaulted or raped if u say something about it bc who knows what that guy is thinking

    • Yeah thats true. My friends are telling me to go to the police.

  • Sorry to hear that. Anything like that should be reported to the police!
