Reply to comment by 255001434 in Serial ‘jogger rapist’ to be released from Oregon prison by LuceeCarioca

> You don't think it might be of interest to someone to know if this guy moved into their neighborhood?

That information is not given in the article. They're not listing where he's moving to.

>Would you want to know who this guy was if you were a young woman or had a teenage daughter?

I don't see how knowing that this guy exists matters at all, especially as a national news story, not a local one.

Can you give me a good reason why someone in Pensacola, FL should care about this?

Do you hold this same high standard for all news articles, or are you just particularly concerned with this guy's privacy? This is more important to the public than quite a lot of news stories that make national headlines.

>They're not listing where he's moving to.

They don't need to. By making it known who he is, people will be able to find out if he's someone they come into contact with.

Since you brought it up, he may have "served his time", but he was only convicted of one out of the nine rapes he admitted to, because of the statute of limitations. He did not serve time for eight rapes that we know he did. There's nothing to be done about that, but I still don't view him as someone has paid for his crimes, as you seem to.
