>Gillmore has been classified as a sex offender at the lowest risk of reoffending. He will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life due to his rape conviction, but the classification means the state and county aren’t required to notify surrounding residents that he’s living near them.

He admitted to nine rapes. The only one he could be convicted of because of the statute of limitations was 13 years old. Unless he's been castrated, how is a serial rapist at "the lowest risk of reoffending"?

Most 63 year olds are I would assume less capable of assaulting and raping women. Any data to support it either way?

He was convicted of raping a 13-year old girl and I'm sure the average 63 year old man is still plenty strong enough for that.

I doubt there is much data on their raping abilities, but 63 isn't as old and feeble as some people seem to think. I've known guys around that age who are strong as hell.

You have a flawed perception of age my man. A 63 year old man is still plenty capable of those things. Thats not feeble aged.

>absent the information on his other victims in the thread that i saw, we can assume that wasnt the common victim profile?

Why would you say that? As they stated in the article, they only described the one who came forward publicly. We have no reason to make any assumptions about the others, but even if the others were older, he has shown a willingness to attack children and that is enough.

Sure, the average 63 year old is probably less capable than when he was in his 20s, but breaking into a house and assaulting a teenage girl is not very physically difficult.

Enough for what? The determinations should be based on the facts. I would say that is information regarding all the victims, though I don't know if legally that is permitted.

Then again thinking about the information i've been provided, it would seem that he may have the capability to attack the same class of individuals he was convicted of attacking again. If the law didn't require him to be released, i'd say that he should probably have to remain behind bars.

Enough for concern that he is still capable of harming the type of person he has chosen to harm before. What else do you think I could have meant? You were talking about him being less capable than before, and I said he is still capable enough.

>The determinations should be based on the facts.

You mean like the fact that the only victim we have information about was 13 years old? I was refuting your bizarre suggestion that we could assume the others were of a different profile since we have no information about them, which makes no sense.

Do you get it now, or do you still want to argue over nothing?

Funny thing about being incarcerated, you're not going to be part of the usual American obesity epidemic.

Is this a recent photo of him in the thumb, do you suppose? Does this look like a feeble old man? He’s been in prison lifting for decades.
