Serial rapist who preyed on 13-year-old girl to be released from Portland prison as low level sex offender

Oct 10, 2022 | Political News

Richard Gilmore, a Portland, Oregon man who was found guilty in 1987 of raping a 13-year-old girl, Tiffany Edens, and admitted to raping at least nine girls and young women, is expected to be released from prison in December.

The Associated Press reports that Gilmore received the nickname the “jogger rapist” because he would run by his victims' homes in the Portland area to surveil and gather information before his rapes. He was an active rapist in the 1970s and 1980s but was only convicted of his crime against Edens because of the statute of limitations.
