53 - Understanding Sexual Fetishes and Crime

What drives someone to engage in extreme sexual fetishes, and how do forensic psychologists distinguish between deviance and danger? Dr. John Deletorre joins us to examine the disturbing case of Mark Redwine, convicted of brutally murdering and beheading his son after his children uncovered disturbing photos of him wearing a diaper and allegedly eating feces from it. How did this revelation escalate to such a horrific crime? This episode explores the psychology of deviant behavior, the pivotal role of forensic evaluations, and how expert testimony shapes jury decisions and legal outcomes. Thanks to the tireless efforts of District Attorney Christian Champagne, justice was served. Join us for a gripping investigation into the intersection of sexual fetishes, criminal behavior, and forensic psychology. This episode is E for sexually explicit.
