Abstract

This research is entitled “Child Grooming in Russell’s My Dark Vanessa (2020)”. The aims of this research are to reveal the factors that lead Vanessa to become a child grooming victim and Strane’s acts of child grooming portrayed in the novel My Dark Vanessa (2020). The researcher used a qualitative method in analyzing the data. The data of this research is obtained from the dialogues and narratives from Kate Elizabeth Russell’s novel entitled My Dark Vanessa (2020). Psychology in literature and child grooming theory are used to examine the topic of this research. This research found that based on Elliot et al.’s theory of child sexual abusers’ grooming strategy, the factors that lead Vanessa to become a child grooming victim are Vanessa’s psychological vulnerabilities, Vanessa’s less parental oversight, and Vanessa’s being socially isolated. This research also found that Strane’s acts of child grooming in My Dark Vanessa (2020) are seen through how he applies the four stages of grooming to Vanessa. Those four stages consist of selecting the victim, gaining access, developing trust, and desensitizing the victim to touch. In the first stage, Strane started by observing Vanessa’s physical appearance and made sure whether she is a loner or not. Second, he made sure that Vanessa joined the creative writing club that he supervised to get closer to her. Third, Strane made Vanessa feel more special than his other students to gain her trust. Then, he gave Vanessa sexual-themed books and initiated a seemingly innocent touch which later on escalated to sexual intercourse.
