(10,129 posts)Without knowing more about this particular case, it's tough to speculate, but just to kind of think out loud for a second here ... it wouldn't surprise me if at some point he had a consenting partner. Maybe Ms. Knight? Maybe the as yet unidentified 4th woman? Or somebody else altogether? Just lots of variables still to be sussed out.. but remember, it's not unheard of.. I seem to recall a case from a couple years ago where a couple were working together abducting girls to turn into sex slaves.. but anyway, as far as Castro goes, I suspect he could have started legitimately enough, but his addiction or whatever we wantbto call it spun out of control. Or conversely, he may have always been a predator in waiting, and found the BDSM community to be a good place to kind of hide out and plot out his fantasy life. Of course, he also may not have anything to do with BDSM, but from the little details I've been hearing, I would be seriously surprised if he wasn't.
