I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it.

I'm no psychiatrist, but I thought that it was usually, but not always, about power. Meaning that sometimes it can be just about the sex.

It's rarely just one or the other. Sex is involved in that sexual assaults usually involve the gender the attacker prefers, and usually involve the age range the attacker prefers. Power is involved in that these people actively prefer to commit assaults rather than finding a willing partner.

Are you really trying to draw a connection between CTE and becoming a rapist?

CTE is unambiguously linked with disinhibition with regard to aggression and violence. Now CTE doesn't make anyone do anything, and there's no indication that I know of that Sharper has it in the first place, but the bare possibility of some connection can't be dismissed out of hand.

That's true. Not a lot of point in speculating about it, since there's not much chance of getting actual data any time soon. In any case most people who do have CTE somehow manage not to commit violent felonies.

So when does this become a federal case?

Committing crimes in a bunch of states doesn't automatically make it federal. It'll probably go like the beltway snipers where they ended up with a thick stack of consecutive life sentences in numerous states.
