The Dragan's Lair - Interview clip unedited - Paedophile explains his Modus Operandi
TRIGGER WARNING: This is a convicted and now imprisoned peadophile talking frankly. It is explicit in parts.
Dragan's Lair is a documentary project where I am examining the relationship and the grooming between peadophiles and their children.
I use my own childhood experience with my step-father as an example of such a relationship.
In this clip, you can get an inkling into his mind. You will see in this clip how he projects blame everywhere other than himself.
You will also see that I press him in talking about his own childhood. Interestingly the exposure that he speaks of from the army officer is exactly what he did to countless girls. Expose himself. But interesting how he diminishes this action with 'he only exposed himself'.
He also talks in this clip about the fact that he's never had counseling himself before - as if he doesn't need it.
And finally, he talks about the age of children that he targeted. In this section you will again see how he blame shifts. He makes the problem everyone else's except his own.

It's so unfortunate that people are still so much in denial about the scale of paedophilia, they don't realise it's at the end of their street at the most.

    • @dewilew2137
      @dewilew2137 11 місяців тому

      That depends on your definition of “natural”. If people are born with that affliction, then unfortunately, it is natural. That doesn’t mean it isn’t bad. Plenty of things that are naturally occurring are bad. A lot of pedophiles realize their attraction to younger children when they are still children/young teens themselves. They get older, but the age of their erotic target stays the same. Contrary to common belief, not all pedophiles have experienced molestation themselves. If that were true, we would have more female pedophiles than males, as more than 2x as many girls are molested than boys.

      It is indisputable that Pedophilia, or Pedophilic Disorder, is a mental illness. Since 1968, Pedophilia has been recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM). In the current iteration, DSM-V, a person is diagnosed with Pedophilic Disorder when they have “acted on” their sexual urges or when the urges “cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.” And when they do act on their urges, they commit a crime

    My abuse was very similar to yours in that it started when I was very very young, and never felt like abuse while it was happening. It was a slow evolution where this person becomes the most special adult in your life and the most trusted adult. I remember being 6 and taking car rides with my abuser where we would have long conversations about his childhood and how he was also groomed (although he portrayed it as being a willing participant). He was my best friend. It wasn’t until I was older and began to understand that our interactions were abnormal that I realized what was happening, however, up until that time it did not feel abusive or harmful. I’ve toiled with the juxtaposition of feeling love and empathy while also feeling anger and disgust for this man that was the only benevolent father figure in my life. I can understand how some people cant wrap their head around the level of calm and astuteness that you had while interviewing your abuser, because not everyone has the same type of abuser. It’s unconscionable to comprehend unless you were groomed in a similar fashion.

Or show me what hes taught you - in the context of what a clever girl rather than reproach. I genuinely would have found questioning from my mum odd. Questions would not have gleened answers because I wouldnt have got the context. What I can say is that anyone who asked me would have had to be very round about and most likely physical to get information I didnt know I was giving. I didnt know it was a secret. But then I also didnt recognise it as out of the ordinary. I will give this question a lot more thought, dig deep and will come back to you.

    Something is not adding up, does not make sense, about how Lucy says that it was never weird or scary when he was naked around her, or sexual with her, that he normalized it, totally. Yes? Then if that were entirely true, would it not also be true that Lucy would have talked "naturally" to her mother, about being naked with her step dad, about their "cuddles" or whatever he called it? If she never spoke about it to her mother, then he must have said to Lucy: "Shhhh - our secret, just between us, don't tell anyone else about "us", they wouldn't understand, they will think we are doing something wrong, so we must keep it a secret" Lucy is not entirely candid in this regard. He couldn't have totally normalized years of this behavior and all the sex acts, without her mother having any knowledge of it.

      The reason I didn't tell my mother, is because unbeknownst to me, keep in mind I was a whole 2 years old when it started. He had groomed me so that my mum wasn't to be trusted and he was the one who loved and cared for me. He had clearly also groomed my mother and leaned into her own insecurities and difficulties to lead her to believe "I've got this". I can only speak of my memory as I remember it. I can honestly say that there was never a feeling of horror related to my home life. It's also worth mentioning (and not relevant in the film which is why I didn't include it). My family were stanch anti apartheid activists in a very intense secret police environment of a country at war and under the laws of apartheid. Our whole existence was secretive.

For me the horror only hit when I learned that my whole childhood had been a lie and that my perception of love was so skewed and the shame of what had happened. He was NEVER violent or forceful. He never physically hurt me. How was I to know as such a young child that I was being manipulated. But I worked extremely hard for 20 years plus to do the work. Days worth of hours with therapists, self help books, talking and trying to understand. It took me a LONG time to realise it wasn't about me and that I could let it go. The freedom that has afforded me has been a lifesaver. Literally. I do hope you find that freedom some day.

      Honestly same! But up until I was about 5 when it moved from molestation or as he called them "games" I didn't grasp that what was going on was bad or wrong and thought it was funny games, my grandad had molested me since I was a toddler, but when he moved that up to rape when I was 5 years old that's when it changed fast. I remember being in pain constantly and holding my urine, my bladder is still ridiculously strong and I can forget I need the toilet easily because of all the time I spent holding it in as a kid, either because it was sore or because I was at his and didn't want to even risk having that part of me exposed. I did eventually end up saying something to someone when I was around 8 because I couldn't take it anymore or hide it. He was a complete psycho who genuinely thought what he was doing was ok and even slightly funny, he was charged but only served 2 years... Britain has always been lax with its sentences for pedos especially back then. When released he would still send me cards for Christmas up until his death when I was 14 signed "uncle fester" which is a term for child molester here 🤢 like he thought it was funny... Many years later it eventually came out that he had abused his own sisters, daughters then moved on to his grandkids, a true pedophilic monster since he was in his early teens, and he got away with it for 50 years until me. It was my dads dad, he was completely unaware of what his sisters went through because they never told anyone but their mother who was married to him, she actually told them to deal with it and not to tell anyone aswell! Gross evil woman was just as bad as him, she even went right back to living with him when he was released from prison after my case, confirming she was fine being with a pedophile who had harmed her kids and grandkids. If I'd ever seen him face to face as an adult I don't think I could of stopped myself murdering him tbh. I do feel this lady may have developed abit of a trauma bond with this man or they were molested in a way that they didn't click it was bad? I'm unsure, I would like to ask her what her behaviour was like around other adults or even other kids when she was being molested for all that time, mainly because I acted very sexual way too early and it leaked into alot of areas of my life like with friends or at school or with other relatives, which were red flags for any adult that saw it. I was also a selective mute for a few years as I was so traumatised by it all plus the court case and the examination I had to have as he plead not guilty.

I believe 100% Lucy spoke in a neutral manner to get him to feel free to answer truthfully. One can see in Dragan’s manner how he groomed(s) Lucy and how he self-justifies his behavior. Dragan is an incredibly manipulative and mentally ill person. Lucy does challenge him when she speaks of her sister. Lucy’s whole motivation in speaking to Dragan is to get answers. I’m positive privately she had to process, before and after, being with him and the responses. If anything the video clearly defines the mindset of a sexual abuser. I loved the response from the gentleman who stated very succinctly that he’d like to meet Dragan in the desert! That’s a good man’s response. 👏🏼 It’s too bad the video is not viewed by law enforcement and they go after him.

      I appreciate your opinion. Thank you. However... this video was collaborated with highly educated specialists in the field - whom Im sure - if it was irrellevant and 'damaging' would not have participated. I did what was within my means to ensure he spoke his full truth. Do you think being confronting would have encouraged that and ensured a full conviction suiting his crimes?

    Lucy, this is a amazing journey you have presented here. I am in awe of your courage and i appreciate what a gift this is to others to unpack the layers of your experience. I am sad at many of the comments which criticise how you have chosen to approach your feelings, ideas and the interactions with others, in particular with your ex step father. What i understand and appreciate - and perhaps others do not understand and appreciate - is that everyone's sexual abuse story is different. As you have said in the description notes, you and your sister had very different experiences and therefore you both have very different reactions. Likewise, the experiences of viewers who have been subjected to sexual abuse, and their own reactions, will be hugely varied. This does not invalidate their experience or how it has affected them. However, your film has showed how you have responded to your own experience, which is valuable to you. It may have value to others, and it may not, i don't believe it can necessarily be used to extrapolate to the experience of everyone. I want to stress though that your experience and the way you have approached it in this film has immense value and i congratulate you for that. It is unconventional in that it recognises the experience of one child in a very specific scenario, and acknowledges what healing and closure can be beyond traditional social norms. Wishing you all the best for your continuing journey.

    This video should be taken down. Gives power to pedophiles. The woman in the video seems like a she pushover. I mean she is keeping composure but it was your chance to make him feel like a monster and not understand his evil self. Not a good look for abused victims. The right questions weren’t asked. Very frustrating and disappointing interview. Glad he is in jail tho, I guess the video helped in this regard

      How would making him feel like a monster get him to speak his full truth so that we could actually get a conviction. Do you honestly think that me going in there on the front foot in attack mode would have had any benefit whatsoever to the 4 girls under 10 fighting him in court at that time? I did what I felt I had to do to achieve what needed to be achieved. I won. So evidently it worked.

    I am a survivor of this. And I do not like the way this lady handled him. I respect her bravery confronting him… but there was V not enough confronting. She could have at least made it clear about how he hurt her. I think she made him feel like it was ok. He was way too confident taking about this with her

      Your thoughts and feelings are 100% valid. This said each survivor needs to go through the healing process in their own way. Lucy is a very analytical person. This is how she processes. She’s dealing with healing herself not him. She wants answers. I believe she spoke in a neutral manner to get him to feel free to answer truthfully. You can see in his manner how he groomed(s) and self-justifies. He’s an incredibly manipulative and mentally sick person. She does challenge him when she speaks of her sister. It’s too bad the video is not viewed by law enforcement and they go after him. Possibly the video affects you, causing a reaction, an area where you are still in pain and need to heal. Wishing you all the best on your journey of healing and self-discovery. ❤

      @@Morningstar2216 Nailed it in one! And just to confirm, the 8 hours of interview footage supported other victim's claim within their statute of limitations got him a 92 year sentence in total. He will serve 35. He is incarcerated in the very town I tracked him down after 30 years. What kind of conversation if you dont allow space for all opinions to be aired.

      ​@@lucywitts17708I can grasp why you did this, for yourself and those other little girls, to ensure his imprisonment, I just couldn't imagine if I couldve done this as an adult to my abuser as he was charged in my case and yet he actually got out of jail within 2 years... That just compounded how much anger I held towards him, because I had to stand up in court video and be examined all just for him to get out while I was still a minor, Britain is not great with pedophile sentences and back in the 90s they were even worse sadly. He did die when I was 14 so I never got the chance as an adult to even shout at him. The amount of self control you must've had to do this surely was immense. I hope you have healed somewhat from everything 💜
