AUBURN, Wash. – Kevin Coe, a convicted rapist, is no longer in state custody but is now on the Washington State sex offender registry. His registered address has raised questions as it lists a location in Auburn, Washington.

Coe, who is 78 years old, was the so-called “South Hill Rapist.” He is believed to have raped as many as 37 women during the late 1970s and early 1980s in the Spokane area. Coe spent 25 years in prison, following his 1981 arrest, and then was sent to a Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island, where he’s been for the past 17 years. Due to his failing health, he no longer fit the criteria, as detailed by state law, of a sexually violent predator, and so a judge in Spokane ordered his release.
