LOTTERY RAPIST SET FREE
Lottery rapist Iorworth Hoare has been released from prison.
Hoare, who won £7m on a Lotto Extra draw, was jailed for life at Leeds Crown Court in 1989.
His catalogue of crimes included one rape, two attempted rapes and three indecent assaults.
The 52-year-old, formerly of Leeds, West Yorkshire, is understood to have been released on strict conditions under a life licence.
The conditions mean he will always have to meet probation requirements and could be taken back into custody if he breaches his parole terms.
Uproar at his winnings even prompted Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell to say she did not believe he should receive the money.
And it also led then-home secretary David Blunkett to say that in future prisoners would not benefit from lottery winnings, although this has not yet happened.
His victims said some of the money should be used to compensate those he had attacked.
A spokeswoman for Lottery operator Camelot said: "The only rules governing who plays the Lottery are that you have to be over 16 and you can't work for Camelot.
"It is a matter for the Home Office as to what rights prisoners have or don't have."

Things I note -
- There seems to be no such thing as life in prison
- When was he allowed out to buy a lottery ticket and who let him?
- Why hasn't Blunkett's promise to stop convicted criminals benefitting from huge lottery wins been actioned?
He has enough money now to buy and sell his probation officer - he'll be able to carry on where he left off - assaulting and raping with no-one to stop him. I doubt there'll be people with enough willpower to refuse his bribes. His whereabouts should be a matter of public record.
His victims should be allowed to claim against him for damages in the civil courts.
