In the wake of the infamous case of Russell Williams, now one of Russell's rape victims nearby Tweed, Ontario has sued him, his wife and the Ontario Police.

One of the madam's claims is that the Police should have informed the residents nearby that some cases of breaking and entering and sexual assaults, by Russell Williams, had happened before the same fate descended on her.

I'm not sure if civilians have the right to be timely informed by the Police about all the sexual offence and murder cases in their neighborhoods. It looks to be unlikely. But if the right really exists, then the Ontario Police did infringe on the victim's rights by having failed to make her know. Otherwise, the Police just have an encroachment case at the very most.
