I would not suggest that either party contact each other. Please, please, please go and speak with an attorney which ever party is writing this. As the parolee or convicted rapist you could open yourself up to further charges like harrassment, etc. should things go bad. As the victim you could be opeining him up to charges and further punishment and even speculation that if you prosecuted on your own you some how lied. Not good. Good luck.
