Rape case privacy and our last class guest

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/02/13/BAV21C0SDL.DTL

This article tie-ins to the guest speaker talking about rape cases being particularly nasty as well as the fact that privacy is coming up in class as a topic. Now the questions this article raises are many, but I feel the most important are few. The first question that springs to mind is should rightfully convicted rapists be given any right to privacy. My opinion is if rightfully convicted then a rapist has practically no privacy rights, because they are likely to rape again. The second major question is are the parole officers equally at fault in this case. My opinion is a simple maybe, because I need more info such as what else may have caused their inaction. One final question is what else has possibly slipped by these parole officers in the past. My opinion is that without more info a conclusion cannot be reached one way or the other on the matter.
