He was convicted in 1987 of the rape of a 6 year old.
That was before all of the new laws and it is highly likely that the penalties were entirely different then.
(I can't look because of my internet. But if anyone wants to look it up and provide a link, that's great.)
Also in my experience the media doesn't usually report it's a rape unless it is. It is actually a HUGE pet peeve of mine...
When they report a child was "molested" or "assaulted" and minimize it, when they were violently raped.
He failed to register as a Level 3 RSO.
That simply means that he is considered the highest risk offender and he did not register his address with them.
It also tells me it is far more likely that he DID rape a 6 year old. Because that is likely what made him a level 3. :twocents:
