Strange synchronicity involving sex offenders
My partner died by suicide a little over 2 years ago. A major reason is that he was molested at summer camp in the '70s when he was about 11years old and had most likely suffered from PTSD from then on. For the purpose of this example, I'll say that it was his fencing instructor who did it, but it was actually a different sport.
A couple weeks ago, I was preparing for a trip and randomly decided to look for his molester online. I had half-heartedly searched right after he died, but I felt more motivated this time around. I found a guy who had molested dozens of kids matching the job description and the state in the US where my partner had gone to camp, but it had been about 5 years prior to when my partner was at camp, so it most likely wasn't him.
On my vacation I took fencing lessons and seemingly hit it off with the instructor during the first lesson. Between the first and second lesson, it occurred to me that I should check this guy out. I googled him and discovered he was on the sex registry for having sex with a 16 year old when he was 30. I felt like I should be on guard but perhaps he had been in a situation that wasn't as bad as it seemed. He didn't do anything objectively sketchy, but at the end of the 2nd lesson he started staring at me with a predatory gaze that turned into a look of total contempt for a split second. He texted me later asking if I wanted to meet up, but I stalled for so long (purposefully) that it was too late by the time I texted back. I later found out that the 16 year old had been his fencing student, and although it was consensual, the details were pretty sickening. He also had a long record of other infractions.
I almost feel like my interest in finding out more about my partner's molester was actually a premonition that something might happen on the upcoming trip, and it was kind of disguised as a synchronicity (i.e., I was looking for a fencing instructor sex offender online and I found one immediately afterwards in real life). I have a lot of premonition dreams too. Has this happened to anyone else?
