It is beyond my words to describe how I feel about this kind of situation, and the predators involved, but "people suck" is not how I want to live my life. It would of course be an advantage to foretell if someone I meet has a hidden agenda. I have been a hiker for 50+ years and have met hundreds of fellow hikers that have never set off any kind of alarm to my instincts. I will say that all this has given me second thoughts of weapons carry and preparedness in the woods.
