Comments: SMILEY, Ralph E. current offense was for conspiracy to manufacture a controlled substance (methamphetamine). His sex offender status stems from a 1988 conviction for rape in the first degree. According to official documents, Smiley observed a female walking in Tacoma at approximately 1130 p.m. He asked the victim twice if she wanted a ride but she declined both offers. A short time later, Smiley grabbed the victim from behind, held a knife to her throat, and dragged her down a path to an observatory. He told her not to make a sound and informed the victim that he had killed before. The victim struggled and was able to get the knife away from Smiley. He proceeded to knock the victim down and regained control of the knife. He then kicked the victim on her face and broke her jaw. He also severed a tendon in her hand as the struggle continued. Smiley was on parole for various other crimes at the time that he committed this offense. He has no other known sex offense convictions. His criminal history includes numerous arrests for burglary, escape, theft, possession of stolen property, and narcotics related offenses. He also has numerous misdemeanor convictions. Smiley did not participate in sexual deviancy treatment while he was incarcerated. His risk level assessment scored him in the Level II notification category, but due to the violent nature of his offense Smiley was upgraded to a Level III notification category and is considered a high risk to re-offend.
