what experts know about men who rape..

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/health/men-rape-sexual-assault.html

Men who rape tend to start young, in high school or the first couple of years of college, likely crossing a line with someone they know, the research suggests.

Some of these men commit one or two sexual assaults and then stop. Others — no one can yet say what portion — maintain this behavior or even pick up the pace.

Antonia Abbey, a social psychologist at Wayne State University, has found that young men who expressed remorse were less likely to offend the following year, while those who blamed their victim were more likely to do it again.

Indeed, experts note one last trait shared by men who have raped: they do not believe they are the problem.

including women and girls.

I posted a link to a NYT article about rape...it said that someone who assaults and feels remorse, doesn't re-offend.
