Postscript. Another issue that I have with the term "grooming" is an implicit understanding that the victim (gen. a juvenile) is compliant i.e. a willing participant. They are victims - mentally, psychologically, emotionally, financially - who are preyed upon by those with power and influence. There is a majority/minority inequality that the pedophile / sexual predator / child abuser uses to their advantage, with no concern for their victim. Psychological control of the victim.
