Christopher Lee poses for a photo in a conference room at the Minnesota Sex Offender Program in St. Peter, Minn., on March 28, 2017. According to his case file, parts of which were released to AP with Lee’s permission, family members abused him mentally and physically, though not sexually. Growing up, Lee said he desperately sought connections but was too needy to keep friends and became a target for bullying. Lee said he channeled his aggression toward sex starting at 10, after a 12-year-old cousin who usually ignored him invited him under the covers. The girl undressed, then got on top of Lee. Someone came to the bedroom door and they stopped. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)
