ABSTRACT

G is a well-known maitre d'hotel, who has been convicted and jailed for having lasciviously touched an eight-year-old child's genitals in a park, after having lured her with some presents and told her several nice stories, ensnaring her kindness with his warm and persuasive voice. G's personal story is scarred by a traumatic event which dramatically affected his childhood. G went to a hotel management school and showed undoubted cooking skills. In a short time he became popular for some dishes he had 'created', and had no difficulty in getting a job as a restaurant chef after graduating. G's only sexual relationships were mercenary. G's first experience of paedophile love went back to some years earlier and was with an adolescent who was helping as a baker's boy in the restaurant in which he was working. On the basis of G's behaviours one can infer that he seems to assume a fatherly identity that proves to be superficial and false.
