Hi mylotters, Have you ever thought of the sorts of things that could have ever happened with him while he was alive!! There was a conversation that came up while i was out for dinner last night regarding Jack The Ripper and there was a question asked and there was no-one who could reply to the question cos no-one knew the answer. The question posed was whether Jack the Ripper would have been a Raper along with the rest of the things that happened with him or was he just a murderer? Catch ya later pretty_babe

I've often wondered what he was like when he was alive, and I have wondered what he might be like if he were still alive today. I think that there is definitely a good possibility that he might have been a rapist, along with all the other terrible things that he did. There is like so many things that we don't know about him and will never know. There is a lot of things that he might have done that no one really knows about, except for Jack the Ripper. Really interesting question.

Hi dodo19, Thanks for the reply. I am glad that he's not around right now. The world is bad enough without that sort thing that he did way back then. I am glad even if he is related way back in my family either on my Mum's or Dad's side. Catch ya later pretty_babe

I read the diaries of the supposed Jack the Ripper cereal killer and I believe that his only intentions were murder and not sexually. I'm pretty sure that he had started to become mad from his wife cheating on him and because he took arsenic daily as medicine. He was basically taking poison as medication so perhaps that could be the cause of insanity.

Hi jambi462, Thanks for your reply. I would love to find that book, way back somewhere in one of my parents sides of the family our family seems to be related to a Jack The Ripper as well as some of the Royal Family like Henry VIII and George III and maybe more but i can't remember who they are right now.

hio prettt__babe oh I am sure he did anything vile that one could imagine then murdered afterward. He was ruthless and cruel and probably was a woman hater so sure he raped and ripped and did all sorts of the most vile savage things his warped mind could imagine. yuck this is a rather upsetting thing to think about but I am sure the man of evil was versatile indeed.

I actually did a research paper on Jack the Ripper and nothing in my research that I remember accused him of anything but murder. I guess what you are suggestion is possibile, as for a lot of serial killers, that goes hand and hand with killing. There are many schools of thought on who Jack was, and why he killed the victims that he did. Most do focus on his hatred for woman. One idea is that he had a girlfriend that because a street walker and that this angered him. Thus, he killed woman like her. Some believe that the killings finally stopped because he finally did kill her. One of my most famous schools of thought is that Jack the Ripper was really Jill the Ripper. As I said, I have not seen anything more then the murders, but there is a ton of information on the internet about Jack, and lots of books. I am sure if he did more then murder, somebody knew about it and you could probably answer your question just by doing a little research. You might fight this site interesting-- it has a great metaphor and is pulled from a book all about Jack. http://www.casebook.org/ripper_media/book_reviews/non-fiction/jackmyth.fulltext3.html
