How Offenders Groom
Entire Communities
Please note: our content contains sensitive discussions of childhood sexual abuse.
When we think of grooming, we often picture children being targeted, but the reality is much more insidious. Grooming doesn’t just happen to individuals; it happens to entire communities. Offenders carefully build trust, manipulate perceptions, and hide in plain sight.
In this film, Rosalia Rivera, a leading consent educator, dives into how predators like Larry Nassar were able to operate undetected for years and why common misconceptions about offenders allow abuse to continue. It’s time to challenge these biases, recognize the warning signs, and protect those around us.
