Dahmer’s victims were all male, ranging in age from 14 to 32, and all the murders were sexually motivated, many of them people of color and some underage. He had issues surrounding dominance and abandonment, and he was continually on the search for a totally compliant sex slave, causing him to drug and experiment on his victims with a total disregard for their humanity and autonomy.
In 1992, Dahmer was jailed for life. At the time of conviction, Dahmer was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, and psychotic disorder, despite he was found to be legally sane at his trial.
