Oregon judge warns of danger from released attacker
A judge in Oregon sentenced Linus Ezra Morgan to 24 years in prison for breaking into a woman's home, assaulting her, and attempting to rape her. Morgan was released from jail just two hours before the attack. The victim fought back using a knife she had hidden, injuring Morgan and allowing her to call for help. Morgan has a long criminal history, including previous convictions for sexual abuse and harassment. Judge Joan Demarest described the case as unprecedented in her career, emphasizing the danger Morgan poses to the community. He is now required to register as a sex offender and pay restitution to the victim.
