SALEM, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon parole board panel said Friday it has denied parole for serial rapist Richard Troy Gillmore.

The three-member panel heard from Gillmore, as well as several of his victims and the man who prosecuted him, during an eight-hour hearing Wednesday.

The 50-year-old Gillmore will be back before the parole board in two years. The victims who testified and a Multnomah County prosecutor had asked that his next parole hearing be deferred for the maximum 10 years.

Gillmore was convicted in 1987 of the rape of a 13-year-old girl. Known as the “Jogger Rapist,” he has admitted at least seven other sexual attacks in the Portland area in the 1970s and ’80s.

He was sentenced to at least 30 years with a 60-year maximum. However, in 1988 the parole board cut the minimum sentence in half.
