A victim of a convicted serial rapist never wants to see him released from prison, she told the Portland Oregonian while recounting her experience.
Renee M. Smith was 17 in 1980 when Richard Gillmore allegedly broke into her home and made her his fourth victim. It wasn’t until 1986 however that police charged Gillmore with the rape of a 13-year-old girl. Once arrested, he confessed to seven earlier rapes, including that of Smith, who testified at his sentencing and has now come forward to oppose the Oregon Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision’s consideration of Gillmore’s case.
He’s ruined so many people’s lives. He doesn’t deserve to have a life of his own. He threw that chance away when he did what he did to all of us girls, she concluded in the Oregonian’s Wednesday exclusive.
