His Evil Ranking

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?

• He is a wealthy piano teacher working in a low income neighborhood under the guise of being a pillar of the community who abuses his job to molest young boys and recording the acts for himself, also taking pornographic pictures of his child students which he calls "snappies".
• Through the years he molests numerous boys, including Evan, starting to molest him at age 9 and continuing for years, making him believe it was normal and would make him become a better piano player.
• In addition to molesting Evan, he molested Rey Guzimano, Ricky, Cesar, Tony, and numerous other boys, having a total of 157 tapes of the abuse that he has recorded. Upon watching the tapes, Detective John Munch is incredibly horrified and disgusted.
• When Evan is an adult, he intimidates him into molesting Jonathan, one of his young piano students, while Lawrence himself watches.
• He has Jonathan partially undress and poses him to take sexual pictures for his owned perverted enjoyment, which led to the photo processor calling the police.
• When questioned, Lawrence refuses to admit his crimes or show any remorse for the horrific things he has done.
• Holt's actions leave Evan deeply traumatized and he is incredibly remorseful having molested Jonathan under Holt's instruction, something which leads to Evan going to prison.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Evil?

• While it is confirmed he has over 100 tapes, it is not known how many of his tapes are of the same victim as there are multiple tapes confirmed to be of Evan through the years, and his full victim count is ultimately not revealed, causing him to suffer from some Fridge Horror.
• It is possible he has some care for his son, as he never molested him and his son initially defended him, being shocked to learn his father was a pedophile.
