He would target obviously mentally unwell teenage girls of below average appearances with no irl support system and befriend them over time but would also neg them to erode their self esteem and make them want his approval. He’d gain their trust and share “secrets” and his vulnerabilities with them to make them share their own. Then he would use these against them, usually escalating to the point of blackmail or threats which is what he’s been confirmed to have done with Ciara, Bianca, Sunny, Bee, Asteriaa, and some nobodies. Usually the blackmail would be sexual (nudes, leaking logs) because he’d test waters by telling these girls with self esteem issues that he thought they were cute and that they should be careful because big bad pedros might target them. This not only made them feel protected by him but also confirmed that they were attractive to him. Then he would go further and further. He liked asking girls if they think their trauma affected their sexuality and it would snowball from there. I think all of them except Ciara said that they never actually found him physically attracted and that they were just lonely then got stuck because he was blackmailing them into staying in contact with him. He plays the victim and accuses them of neglect or abuse when they wake up to how manipulative he actually is, and because these girls are already unwell with low self esteem, it’s very effective at making them feel guilty and comforting him after he just threatened to ruin their lives for wanting to escape.

He’s not some dark triad twisted genius or whatever. Anyone can do what he did. He was just mentally ill enough to have no moral qualms about what he was doing.

And now he’s facing prison time for molesting his sister when she was in elementary school. Who can really say they’re surprised?
