OK, since you don't know the specifics of this case, you can't say much. It is an extraordinary circumstance.

To the point, this guy is a repeat violent rapist and pedophile who already proved he can't be trusted to follow court orders.

His ex-wife, who he almost murdered, already spoke to the danger he puts everyone in, including her.

It's extremely rare for our local police to warn the community about someone who's been released into their backyard. He 100% should not have been.
