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.

Yes, he served his time which is why he's getting out and I didn't argue against that, but he was a serial rapist. He hunted people. It is of public interest to know that he will be in public again. It's pretty weird that you don't think so.

>What will anybody do differently with this information?

You don't think it might be of interest to someone to know if this guy moved into their neighborhood? We wouldn't know who he was without it being in the news. Would you want to know who this guy was if you were a young woman or had a teenage daughter?

This is not fearmongering. It is of legitimate public interest, but you seem more concerned about protecting his privacy.

>Gillmore has been classified as a sex offender at the lowest risk of reoffending. He will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life due to his rape conviction, but the classification means the state and county aren’t required to notify surrounding residents that he’s living near them.

He admitted to nine rapes. The only one he could be convicted of because of the statute of limitations was 13 years old. Unless he's been castrated, how is a serial rapist at "the lowest risk of reoffending"?
