About the Author...

The author of Sexual Villainy: A Sex Offender Profile is Vanissa W. Chan, formerly known by the alias of Delano V. Garvey. Vanissa did her research on the NRV sex offender at the age of 16 for a high school science project. It won 2nd place at a regional science fair, and she had the opportunity to present it to the Virginia Junior Academy of Sciences Annual Conference in May 1998. Due to her youth, she felt more comfortable posting with an alias on the internet.

Having maintained the site, Criminal Psychology: Among Other Things for several years, Vanissa decided to shut the site down in 2002 and pursue other things. The site remained on search engines, however, and still receives several thousands of visitors despite its aged content. Her NRV sex offender profile and other papers on this site have been serving as an often revisited resource for academia and research.

Currently, Vanissa is receiving her Masters in Education and working as a special needs classroom teacher in south Brooklyn, NY. She is the author of a few comic books and continues to pursue her art & photography career while also pursuing her passion in the field of personality psychology.
