A clinical psychologist has stated that convicted child sex abuse kingpin Gerhard Ackerman is psychologically inclined to abuse kids sexually.

According to the psychiatric evaluation, clinical psychologist Colonel Kirsten Clark told the court that Ackerman had a paedophilic disorder which meant rehabilitation might never work due to the “lifelong disorder, [which] is part of that person’s psychology”.

The psychologist’s report made it clear that the sicko will likely re-offend if released to the public, per The Citizen:

Giving her testimony for the State in the sentencing proceedings of Ackerman in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, Clark noted that rehabilitation could prove even more difficult because Ackerman presented with a cognitive distortion in that he genuinely believed what he did was not wrong.

Clark said research indicated that chances of rehabilitation are 0.5%, saying: “Their attraction to children is part of their inherent psychology”.

Prosecutor Valencia Dube pleaded with the Johannesburg High Court to not deviate from imposing a life sentence for each of the 22 rape and child trafficking convictions against the guy dubbed “South Africa’s Jeffrey Epstein”.

She had no objection to the other convictions, including the creation and possession of child pornography, running concurrently with the life sentences.

“The court should also consider the well thought-out and execution of the plan by the accused to bring the children to the accused’s place of residence.

“He was the main person bringing the kids and he was the one speaking to parents, and arranging for transport,” Dube added.

She also asked for 10 years each for the eight counts of attempted murder for each of the eight boys who tested positive for HIV.

It turns out, one of the victims, who was 16 years old when he was raped by Ackerman and well-known senior advocate and acting judge, Paul Kennedy (Ackerman’s accomplice), had been diagnosed with full-blown Aids, per News24.

Dube said that the boy is gravely ill, and the court should consider that aspect.

Herman Alberts, Ackerman’s lawyer, is arguing against the severe sentencing, saying that should the court impose a 10-year sentence for each of the 253 counts of possession of child pornography images, the sentence would be more than 2 000 years, which would be for show.

Yes, make a show of this sicko, please. Put him away forever.
