Somsack was just 13 years old when he met Jeffrey Dahmer, who had already killed at least four boys and young men by 1988. Though Somsack escaped with his life, Dahmer sexually assaulted the teenager after convincing him to participate in a nude photo shoot in exchange for money.Konerak Sinthasomphone (brother of Somsack Sinthasomphone) was naked and bleeding in the street outside Dahmer’s apartment. Unbeknownst to Cleveland — and to the police who responded to her call — Dahmer had already begun torturing the boy. The killer later confessed that he’d drilled a hole into Konerak’s skull at that point, “just enough to open a passageway to the brain,” and injected hydrochloric acid that induced a “zombie-like state,” per the Associated Press.

Dahmer was not a human being, and should never be categorized as such. He lacked the capacity to care for others, and he blatantly disregarded the value of human life when he killed his victims. He should be remembered as an evil person, but he is constantly being glamorized by the film industry. This is the wrong type of attention.'
