Ronny lived in a rural area in the Midwest. He was married with three kids and lived with his mother-in-law. When you think of loser, his photo would be in the dictionary. He wore a stained wife beater T- shirt over his protruding beer belly. It really was not long enough to cover his expanding real estate. His receding hairline with very thin long hair kept in a ponytail. He was clearly unaware of his appearance. He strutted as if he were a perfect example of manhood.
He is the definition of the person you would not want to be near your daughter.
Olivia had created her own image of him in her imagination, like when we look at paintings or print images our mind fills in the blank spaces with what we expect to see. So, patterns and shapes are all that are needed. Like Picasso's line drawings, a little information allows our mind to complete the images by filling in the blanks.
Olivia imagined what her mind wanted to see. Ronny facilitated her imagination by disclosing little information about himself. She felt that she knew him well, however. Any information she had was simply a mirror of what she had told him.
One example is that they liked the same music and the same favorite color. Olivia was being deceived but was unaware. Lured in a way that made her think it was her choice to leave all she knew for a person she thought she knew.
What she did not know was that Ronny knew the man who raped her. Ronny enjoyed hearing her talk about how the rape changed her life. He did not tell her he had called in a favor to get it done. He knew he could not lure a person like Olivia who had everything going to keep her strong. He had to break her so she would be more pliable. Ronny thought himself so very smart. He loved the grooming process. It was at times, even better than the seOlivia did not know about his children or his common law wife. Soon they would all be one happy family.OliOlivia would keep the wife happy by babysitting and cleaning. Ronny would be happy selling Olivia for bondage sex with his friends. Ronny had also sold illegal drugs, but he found selling sex more profitable. He had another victim previously. She had finally escaped but no one came looking for him. He saw this method of criminal activity was of minimal risk and high reward if he prepared his target correctly. loved this part, selling drugs was not as intoxicating as having his target worship him. He loved twisting her mind and getting her to release all boundaries. The tactics he used were torture techniques used by military intelligence globally to gain information and compliance. Sleep deprivation, food deprivation, trauma, and isolation. He felt like he was more powerful when he had someone to control. He was going to make money and become even more popular with his gang friends. That is why he had put in the time, over a year, to get Olivia in a state of mind to not resist anything he asked. He was to become her god!
Olivia’s parents’ private investigator used the license plate and messaging information to find Ronny’s home. Ronny thought he was clear because he had just moved into his mother-in-law’s house. Little did he know that would be of little avail and was surprised when the detective showed up to ask about Olivia.
He was, however, prepared for this. He told them they could speak to her. Ronny laughed in a bragging way when they asked if he had sex with her. He said just once, when he went to get her, because he did not want his wife to know. Now she was just like a daughter. He wanted to help her.
They asked if she had given him her inheritance, $30,000. Ronnie said, Olivia is just so generous, I did not want it, but she helped pay the bills and bought us gifts. Ronnie made sure they understood she was over eighteen and she came to his home willingly. She could spend her money as she wished.
Although he had never met her parents, he took time to disparage them and explain how controlling they were. He specifically spoke more disparagingly about her mother. This was because her mother was the one person who could possibly save her. They were so much alike and so close he had to make sure her mother was completely demonized.
He called Olivia over to the detective’s car and told her they wanted to speak with her. He rolled his eyes and said, "Your mother sent them.”
Ronny reached down and picked Sam up. He held Sam while Olivia spoke to the detective. In reviewing the dash cam video, you could see the unspoken threat. Olivia knew she had better not speak out of line to the detective. She knew Sam was in trouble if she told any of Ronny’s secrets.
