...actually do it? Claeren himself was impotent so couldn't perform. But the situations those fathers were put in would take anyone to a place as far from arousal as possible. It doesn't seem that this type of crime is even physically possible, let alone probable.
shareThe same way men are raped in real life. Viagra.
shareTo me that was a fatal flaw. There was no mention of Viagra.

There was. Cafmeyer's colleague tells him Plettinckx can no longer pose a threat as a sexual predator because of his age and Cafmeyer rejoins that in the age of Viagra, that no longer means anything. But that raises bigger questions: if Claeren has ready access to Viagra and knows it to be effective, why commit his abuses by proxy and resort to his unorthodox treatment?
shareViagra only works if the man is sexually aroused... It's a common misconception.
shareI thought of this too. I'm guessing, if Claeren is holding a knife to your kid, or to you, and telling you to do it or I'm going to kill him/you...you might find a way. Claeren was pretty strong, we saw this at the end with Nick. But I also wonder how Claeren moves the father without him trying to take Claeren out. Granted, he has a knife. It also looked like he waited for a while, until everyone is weak. Which is what I took from it at the end. And can see why the fathers didn't have it in him to try and take Claeren out. The wife, we see, was very weak and looked like she was in that room for a while, before we see Claeren come in for the first time with the father and son. Just my two cents.
