There's a part from the Michael Chrichton novel "Disclosure" that's always stuck with me. In that novel, the main character is a man, who is suing his female boss for sexual harassment. And his lawyer (a veteran of many sexual harassment cases) tells him basically "there's always a pattern. The sort of people who do this, they don't start with you. They do it to a lot of other people, too."
Also it's sort of "Black Swan" type logic. If you've never seen something, maybe it never happens. But if you've seen it once, it's a lot more likely that you'll see it again.
