Constructive Fraud of Intimacy: The Criminal Core of Indoctrination
At the entry point of narcissistic psychological warfare lies indoctrination. It is the first stage of the Eight Stages, and it is where the predator secures their victim’s capture. Popular culture calls this phase “love bombing,” as though it were nothing more than excessive attention, a flood of compliments, or an overwhelming rush of romance. But this language trivializes what is actually happening. Love bombing is not affection gone overboard. It is Constructive Fraud of Intimacy, a deliberate deception that manufactures trust, creates dependency, and strips the victim of the very foundation of consent.
Fraud, Not Romance
Constructive fraud of intimacy operates on a false pretense: the predator does not offer authentic connection, but a counterfeit version designed to entrap. The victim consents to a relationship that does not exist. They believe they are entering love, safety, and partnership, when in reality they are entering captivity disguised as intimacy. Consent cannot exist where fraud is present. Just as financial fraud strips a victim of informed choice, constructive fraud of intimacy strips the victim of relational choice. It is not romance—it is entrapment.
Indoctrination as Psychological Warfare
The indoctrination stage is not simply emotional manipulation, it is a psychological campaign that prepares the victim for later stages of warfare. Through intense flattery, accelerated commitment, and exaggerated promises of safety and belonging, the predator destabilizes the victim’s defenses. The nervous system floods with dopamine and oxytocin, creating powerful neurological imprints that bind the victim to the abuser. What looks like chemistry is actually conditioning. What feels like destiny is programming. This is not mutual bonding. This is indoctrination, the opening salvo in a war that the victim has no idea they are walking into.
Every relationship relies on consent, but consent requires truth. If one party fabricates their identity, intentions, and affection in order to trap the other, the victim’s consent is null. Constructive fraud of intimacy ensures that the victim never had a choice. They are agreeing to a relationship that does not exist, one presented under false pretenses and weaponized against them from the beginning. This is why indoctrination should be prosecutable. It is the relational equivalent of drugging someone before a robbery—by the time the victim realizes the harm, their capacity to resist has been systematically destroyed.
The Marker of Psychological Homicide
Constructive fraud of intimacy is not merely the beginning of abuse. It is the primary marker of psychological homicide. By removing consent at the outset, indoctrination sets in motion a campaign that will eventually strip the victim of identity, autonomy, and in too many cases, their will to live. Survivors who die by suicide after years of entrapment did not enter relationships with poor judgment. They were deceived, captured, and broken down by fraud. Their deaths are not personal tragedies. They are homicides carried out through psychological warfare.
Why It Must Be Prosecutable
We cannot continue to frame indoctrination as romance gone wrong. Love bombing, or constructive fraud of intimacy, is a weapon. It is the first strike in an orchestrated war on the psyche, and it robs survivors of consent before the relationship has even begun. To leave this unaddressed is to allow predators to continue recruiting victims under the guise of love, then destroying them under the protection of silence. Recognizing constructive fraud of intimacy as a crime is not just about protecting survivors. It is about naming the truth: psychological homicide begins with indoctrination, and until we prosecute it, the dead will keep multiplying.
