I can recommend Pieter Hintjens' "Psychopath Code" if you want to learn more on how human/social predators operate:

Edit: I neither know the accused nor the writer of that piece, I just wanted to share that there's lots of layers to reality and that this book was eye-opening to me in that regard.

It is generally considered inappropriate for a mental health practitioner to offer a diagnosis without formally seeing the patient in question, so I doubt that someone who has the knowledge to make an assessment would take the leap and breach protocol. It would surely be interesting though.

Hopefully anybody with experience will know better than to diagnose someone over the Internet based largely on hearsay.

There's a whole spectrum of personality disorders, including narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder (aka sociopathy). Any of these and maybe others could be diagnosed. Or maybe none and this guy (based on the alleged behaviors) is just a terrible person with no diagnosable disorder.

It's funny that we look for a diagnosis when something terrible happens. Why do we do it? I guess so we can work to help people that suffer from said diseases, but there are also plenty of people that do horrible things that don't fall into certain categories/diagnoses.
