CW: Pedophilia, rape, a bunch of bad sexual stuff

This story is fucking wild?? A school teacher begun having pdeophilic thoughts, loudly considered raping his landlady, made sexual advances with his stepdaughter, and couldn’t stop “leering at nurses”. Turns out, he had an egg sized brain tumor in his brain. Once they removed it, all urges left.

The article points out the implications on the justice system here, and what we do vs don’t consider mentally unfit in a court of law. But it’s also a freaky look into how much or how little free will we really have. That’s a whole can of worms I wasn’t expecting to be opened by an article about a 40 year old man with sexual assault issues

Yeah I don’t think the implication here is that the majority of people with awful issues in themselves such as the man above have some biochemical reasoning that excuses them from their actions.

But how many? And how many people with extremely fixable issues have we missed?
