How it's used
Carries a much stronger and more aggressive tone than 色狼, as it specifically implies a criminal or dangerous predator rather than just a lecherous person. It is frequently used in news reports or warnings to describe someone who has committed or is suspected of committing sexual assault. Using this word labels the person as a serious social menace.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe someone who is simply flirtatious or makes inappropriate jokes, as that would be a gross overstatement. Reserve it for individuals who have crossed the line into criminal or predatory behavior.
