Danielle Tudor is one of several victims of 5ichard Troy *illmore, the 3ortlandarea ³MoJJer rapist´ Zho Zas convicted of rape, bur Jlary and se[ual abuse in . +oZever, because *illmore¶s rape conviction Zas not based on the crime committed aJainst Tudor, she had trouble testifyinJ durinJ his parole hearinJ in . OreJon¶s Board of 3arole and 3ost3rison 6upervision initially refused to let Tudor speaN at the hearinJ but re lented after she ¿ led a laZsuit, she said. ³That parole hearinJ for me Zas traumatic but it Zas also empoZer inJ,´ she said. Tudor describes it as a pivot al moment that convinced her to chanJe the board¶s de¿ nition of vic tim so that other people affected by crime could not be shut out of simi lar parole hearinJs. ³, found out , can ¿ Jht bacN. 1ot only can , ¿ Jht bacN, but , can Zin,´ she said. tion´ under the board¶s rules at the time. 8nder the e[panded de¿ nition, hoZever, the board can consider testimony from other people Zho have been determined by the board, the court or the prosecutor to have suffered from the convict¶s crime or related crimes. Tudor said she Zorries that *ill more Zould be released unless the parole board can consider her story and the stories of his other victims. ³<ou Zouldn¶t hear about hoZ real it¶s been in my life. That Zould be lost,´ she said. The neZ de¿ nition of victim Zill affect other criminals Zho are under consideration for parole, and provide the board Zith a more ac curate picture of these convicts, she said. ³The parole board needs to hear More victims can testify While Tudor Zas a documented victim of *illmore¶s and testi¿ ed at his sentencinJ, prosecutors could not prosecute him based on those facts because the statute of limita tions had run out, she said. Tudor Zas initially shut out of the parole hearinJ because she Zasn¶t the ³victim of incarcera those voices,´ Tudor said. ³We Jive them a looN into an inmate¶s life liNe they¶re not JoinJ to Jet otherZise.´ Defense attorneys concerned 1ot everybody is a fan of the re vised de¿ nition, thouJh.
