It sounds like the whole community knew, given the reports that everybody in town knew to avoid the guy. It's just our society and legal system makes it everybody's responsibility to deal with it, and near-impossible to actually do anything useful, which in practice means it's nobody's responsibility. Kind of like climate change, or car crashes.
