The man known as the “South Hill rapist” was moved back to Federal Way after pushback from the Auburn community.

Convicted rapist and Level 3 sex offender Kevin Coe is now living in the 33700 block of 38th Place Southwest, as stated on Washington’s sex offender registry . Coe’s address is close to Brigadoon Elementary School.

Coe was originally going to live in Federal Way, but after outcry from residents and the mayor, he was moved to Auburn.
