September 27, 1963 - Patrick Trémeau
His pattern was methodical and predatory — stalking underground parking structures at night in two Paris arrondissements across nearly a decade, using a knife to subdue victims before assaulting them. The 1998 conviction and 16-year sentence did not mark an end: early release in 2005 was followed almost immediately by reoffending, leading to a second, longer sentence and contributing to legislative change around recidivism in France.
From Wikipedia
Patrick Trémeau (born September 27, 1963) is a French serial rapist, active in the 11th and 20th arrondissements of Paris during the 1990s. Nicknamed The Parking Rapist, he prowled mainly at night, attacking women in underground car parks under the threat of a knife, before raping them.
Trémeau was sentenced to 16 years' imprisonment in 1998. He was released in May 2005 after 10 years of detention, whereupon he reoffended and was arrested in September of that same year. At the same time, a law was passed concerning recidivism, and Trémeau was given 20 years' imprisonment with a 10-year imprisonment term in February 2009.
