Kevin Coe

Kevin Coe (born Frederick Harlan Coe, February 2, 1947 – December 3, 2025) was an American convicted rapist from Spokane, Washington, often referred to in the news media as the South Hill Rapist. As of May 2008, Coe was still a suspect in dozens of rapes, the number of which is unusually large; his convictions received an unusual amount of attention from appeals courts. His mother, Ruth, was convicted of hiring a hitman against Judge George Sheilds and Prosecutor Donald Brockett at her son's trial following his conviction. The bizarre relationship between Coe and his mother became the subject of a nonfiction book, Son: A Psychopath and his Victims, by the crime author Jack Olsen.

On July 31, 1982, Coe legally changed his first name to Kevin, a preference by which he had been known.
