In this episode, we talk about the case of the so-called "cool mom", Silvia Ann Johnson, who engaged in drug fueled sex with her high- school- aged kids' friends, ultimately ending some lives and destroying others. We talk about the underlying psychology of what kind of person does something like this, the criminogenic needs that do and don't feed this kind of behavior, and touch on the discrepancies that exist in the courts and public opinion when it comes time to compare women who prey on young male victims vs adult men who prey on young female victims.
