‘Jogger rapist’ to be released from prison this year after nearly 36 years

Richard Gillmore stalked girls in Portland, Oregon, some of whom have spoken publicly opposing his release

The convicted so-called jogger rapist Richard Gillmore is scheduled to be released from prison at the end of this year.

Gillmore, who will be 63 when released, used to run by the homes of young girls and women in the metropolitan area of Portland, Oregon, in order to stalk and rape them. He admitted to raping nine girls in the 1970s and 80s, but he was ultimately convicted of only one rape because of the statute of limitations on the other cases.
