These people could already be getting raped by their significant other for all I know. Until/if he reoffends he has served his time, is "rehabilitated", and is free to live out his days (until he reoffends, if he does). Why should we only worry about those who have "paid their debt"? Shouldn't we fear monger the unknown rapists as well as those who have served their time? No, we shouldn't because that just pushes a living in fear of everything society even more than we already do.

Also, I'm in Milwaukee, how do I or my sister or anyone I know need to know a rapist is Oregon is released? At most that should be a COMMUNITY alert, like with pedophiles.

So are you proposing we make the sentence for rape a life sentence then?

Contrary to what the media wants you to believe people can come out of jails after decades and NOT repeat their past mistakes. I guarantee you I live near multiple rapists (many men still continue or lightly force it, even if she changes her mind mid sex) , they just haven't been caught by the law (or in my case my ex would rape me when I said no. Marital rape was made illegal in 1993, I got married in 2004. I was told by multiple cops in multiple districts/cities/counties not to bother because we were married and marriage is a 24/7 consent situation. Any movement that is not immediate pulling out after she says no makes you a rapist, technically.

Really, what does knowing about a convicted rapist do vs knowing I live near a bunch of not caught rapists? Absolutely nothing in my eyes. Plus he's old as fuck who has served his time. He's done his time, he can now resume a "regular life".
