He was simply a pedophile with a fetish for newly hatched teenage girls just coming into adolescense. Remember, Taylor was 14 and still had braces. When Vanessa turned 16, Strane was much less interested in her sexually, but he was consumed with what she could expose about him. Vanessa still loved him, far longer than she should have, and she assumed he continued to love her, but it was all part of his scheme to keep her quiet.(less)
