Disparity over John Christie's medical condition


This movie portrayed John Christie as a necrophiliac, but some criminal records said that he was impotent. Which one was true?

Semen was found in the seams of his shoes, according to a book I read it was suspected he stood over his victims and masturbated over the body.

That was an interesting response. Maybe the sex was just more comfortable to portray in a movie, especially since it looked much cleaner. Thank you.

Christie did rape his victims during the killing the only ones he didn't was his wife and Beryl's Evans.
