In the 1970 and 80s, a serial rapist plagued Portland, OR, and surrounding areas. His modus operandi was that he would jog through neighborhoods in east Portland scouting for potential victims. When he found a young girl or woman that captured his attention, he would watch them, sometimes for days, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. When she was alone, he would break in, attack her, hide his face, and rape her before slipping back out into the night. It would take nearly a decade for police to capture him and 36 years later, the survivors of the Portland “Jogger Rapist” still band together in search of justice. We are merely weeks away from his release from prison, and I want to be sure you know who could be moving in next door to you.
