*Warningthe following article contains a graphic depiction of a rape.
Alex Smith and Jonas Dick considered themselves part of the elite.
The two men were instructors in the community of pickup artistsmen who obsessively study and practice methods of meeting and sleeping with as many women as possible. Some men in the community say pickup is about self-actualization, and finding meaning in their lives.
But according to San Diegos district attorney, Alex and Jonasboth 27 years oldare predators and the pursuit of their art has led to the rape of multiple women.
In what may be a first for the pickup community, the two menalong with their student, 28-year-old Jason Berlinwere charged in 2015 with the rape of a San Diego woman. Jonas and Jason pleaded guilty to the charges; Alex has maintained his innocence, claimingcontrary to Jason and Jonass sworn pleasthat the events of that night were consensual.
