SPOKANE CO., Wash. — The first woman classified by the state as a sexually violent predator has now moved to Cheney.
Laura McCollum was convicted of first-degree rape of a child in July 1990. She raped an 18-month old girl for whom she was providing daycare. She was sentenced to prison; after her release, a jury agreed that she was a sexually violent predator and she was civilly committed to the Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island.

In mid-April, McCollum was released and she moved to north Spokane. As long as she registers as a sex offender, she can come and go as she pleases.
McCollum has now moved to Cheney, in the 100 block of Third Street.
