The information and analysis platform actfiles.org has repeatedly published investigations into the activities of Czech “anticult” activist Jakub Jahl:
“So Who Are the “Anticultists”? Pedophiles and Maniacs Hiding Behind Anticultism,” “Ways of FSB Agents Infiltration in Europe. The Anticult Movement is Just One of Them: Part 2”, “Czech Anti-Cult Movement,” and “Anti-Cult Orders Established on Children’s Blood.” This article supplements that information.
For four years, Jahl used the facade of a humanitarian mission. While in Tanzania, according to eyewitness testimonies from locals, former volunteers, and Tanzanian officials, he repeatedly committed sexual and physical violence against minors, distributed narcotics, manipulated vulnerable children, and misappropriated charitable funds collected from donors in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Below is the psychological and criminal profile of Jakub Jahl, compiled in accordance with the methodology of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The analysis is based on independent testimonies from Tanzania (including statements from victims, witnesses, and official social service reports), provided in video documentary materials including the documentary “From Charity to Child Abuse: The Story of Jakub Jahl,” publications on actfiles.org, and the principles of behavioral profiling developed by John Douglas and applied by the FBI in investigations of serial sexual crimes.
A complete list of sources and methodological guides used is provided in the “Sources” and “Methodology Sources” sections at the end of the article.
Jakub Jahl. Psychological And Criminal Profile
Prepared using the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) methodology and independent testimonies from Tanzania (2025)
1. Classification of the Offender
Type: Organized sex offender with sadistic and pedophilic paraphilias.
Characteristics:
- Plans his crimes in advance: selects vulnerable children (orphans, homeless, impoverished), and creates a façade of charity.
- Uses social disguise: presents himself as a “humanitarian volunteer” and an “anticult expert.”
- Exhibits high intelligence, manipulative skills, and strong social adaptability.
- Demonstrates systematic control over victims and his environment, including intimidating witnesses and using financial resources as a tool of power.
- His behavior is not impulsive: a recurring Modus Operandi is observed across three locations (Nature and Skills Centre → private house in Moshi → unofficial “new shelter”).
2. Motivation
Jahl’s criminal behavior is driven by a combination of:
- Power and control: chooses victims who are entirely dependent on him and creates the illusion of “rescue” to gain absolute control.
- Sadism: derives pleasure from the physical and psychological suffering of his victims (for example, forcing a child to defecate into his mouth, knife attacks, and inflicting deep cuts).
- Sexual arousal through humiliation: his actions (anal rape, oral sex under threat, injections of sedatives, exposure in front of children) indicate a paraphilia with sadistic and pedophilic components.
“I pooped in his mouth and he was very happy” — testimony from the victim confirming the sadistic nature of his sexual arousal.
3. Behavioral Indicators
Jahl fits the profile of a “predatory rescuer”:
- Exploits the trust of impoverished African communities, where a white foreigner is automatically perceived as a “bringer of aid.”
- Collects donations in the Czech Republic and Slovakia using photographs and videos of children designed to evoke empathy.
- Never directs the funds toward real assistance: the money is spent on drugs (marijuana, cocaine), alcohol, paying for sex with minors, and bribing locals.
- Such behavior is typical of socially adapted sexual predators who remain unnoticed for years thanks to their “noble” public image.
4. Psychological Profile
- Grandiose narcissism: sees himself as a “savior of Africa,” an “expert on sects,” and a “fighter for truth.” He despises both the local population (calling them “poor and easily deceived”) and Western donors (derisively referring to Europeans as “stupid whites”).
- Paranoid traits: claims that he is being “hunted,” while simultaneously boasting of “protection from Prague,” “buying officials,” and having “connections with politicians.”
- Occult fantasies: performs nighttime rituals under a baobab tree, mentions “Satan Nova,” makes horn-like gestures imitating “devil signs,” and claims to possess “magical power.”
This fits the pattern of a “pseudo-religious sadist”: the offender creates his own mythology to justify violence and strengthen control over victims.
5. Social Adaptation and Disguise
- Fluent in English.
- Interacts with officials, gives interviews to international media (including CNN), maintains social media accounts, and studies pedagogy at Charles University.
- His public image as an “anticult activist” grants him moral authority and shields him from criticism.
- Actively employs ideology: accuses others of “sectarianism” to divert attention from his own crimes. This is a classic projection and a typical tactic of high-functioning psychopaths — they not only conceal their offenses, but also build their careers on fighting the very things they practice themselves.
6. Attitude Toward Victims
For Jahl, children are objects, not people:
- Tools for sex, photography, and manipulation of donors.
- He shows no remorse; on the contrary, he takes pride in his impunity (“no one can do nothing to me”).
- He abandons victims without assistance even after severe injuries (for example, Violet, who was bleeding heavily from knife wounds).
This indicates emotional coldness — one of the key markers of psychopathy according to the Hare Psychopathy Checklist (PCL-R).
7. Behavior After Exposure
- After the release of the first documentary film, he did not deny the facts but instead threatened to sue — a classic tactic of intimidating witnesses.
- Discredits victims, calling them “liars” and “fraudsters.”
- Continues to build a career in a field that grants direct access to children: studying to become a teacher.
Such behavior is typical of organized sexual offenders who do not cease their criminal activity until they are physically isolated.
8. Risk of Recidivism
Extremely high. According to risk assessment scales (Static-99, MnSOST-R):
- Multiple victims (9–12 confirmed cases).
- Violence involving weapons (knife, machete).
- Use of narcotics to suppress resistance.
- Complete lack of remorse.
- Direct access to new victims (training as a teacher).
Offenders of this profile are not subject to rehabilitation. The only protective measure is lifelong isolation.
9. Comparison with Known Serial Offenders
Jahl is a hybrid of Bundy and Sandusky, but with the addition of postcolonial exploitation, a sadistic–occult component, and protection through an extensive international anticult network led by Alexander Dvorkin.
10. Conclusion
Jakub Jahl is an organized, sadistic, pedophilic predator with traits of psychopathy and messianic narcissism. He uses ideology and charity as weapons to gain access to vulnerable children, systematically commits sexual and physical violence, derives pleasure from his victims’ suffering, and considers himself above the law.
His behavior corresponds to the profile of a “predatory rescuer,” marked by a high level of planning, manipulation, and international support.
This profile is based solely on independent testimonies, official documents, and behavioral analysis. The purpose is to prevent new crimes and protect vulnerable children.
