Unlikely Predators: Case Studies in Female Predation - Hardcover

by Lee Lucero (Author)

What do predators look like? Not all wear the face we expect. Unlikely Predators dismantles the myth that sexual violence is a male-only crime, revealing the hidden world of women who exploit trust and power. Through trauma-informed case studies beginning with Mary Kay Letourneau Lee Lucero exposes the social, psychological, and cultural forces that allow abuse to persist. Drawing from research and lived experience, he explores how cycles of neglect and chaos can evolve into patterns of violation. With survivor-centered storytelling and data-driven insight, this book confronts the hard questions: What does justice look like when the predator defies expectations? What does healing require when the victim is doubted or dismissed? A fearless, necessary exploration of gender, power, and accountability.
