‘Pillowcase Rapist’ may be released in Palmdale area

by •

Christopher Evans Hubbart, 63, admitted to raping approximately 40 women between 1971 and 1982. He was called the "Pillowcase Rapist" because he muffled his victim's screams with a pillowcase over their heads. He could be living in the Palmdale area when he is conditionally released.
Christopher Hubbart, 63, admitted to raping approximately 40 women between 1971 and 1982. He was called the “Pillowcase Rapist” because he muffled his victims’ screams with a pillowcase over their heads.

Christopher Hubbart, who admitted to raping approximately 40 women, could potentially live in the Palmdale area when he is conditionally released, a Santa Clara County judge announced Friday.

The serial rapist may be housed at 20315 East Avenue R, Judge Gilbert Brown said in court. There is no date scheduled for Hubbart’s release, but a public hearing on his proposed residence will be held next month in San Jose, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.

“I will continue to oppose Hubbart’s release. My top priority is to protect our community,” District Attorney Jackie Lacey said. “If Hubbart is housed in Los Angeles County, my office will work with law enforcement to make sure that he is closely monitored at all times and that all terms and conditions of his release are strictly enforced.”

This is the second Antelope Valley location that has been considered for Hubbart. In November, the owner of a Lake Los Angeles residence withdrew his property from consideration, amid public outcry. Read more here.

Hubbart, 63, was nicknamed the “Pillowcase Rapist” because he muffled his victims’ screams with a pillowcase over their heads. View a timeline of Hubbart’s criminal, social, and legal history here.

Judge Brown will hold a public hearing on May 21, 2014, in San Jose on Hubbart’s proposed residence.

  1. Well it has happened….despite the thousand of letters and protests he will be released anytime before July 7th and reside at 20315 east ave R in Lake LA because of bad judgement and a crooked system…no one seems to be questioning the fact that the state is paying for him to reside there and the owner of the home is a felon who tried to murder his wife….yes….and this is national news…..wake up AMERICA!!!!!!!

  2. Just received the following email from JD Kennedy for Assembly.

    “This Saturday, April 19 from 11am-6pm, the Ladies of the Lake will be holding a peaceful protest on the corner of 10th Street West and Rancho Vista Blvd in Palmdale. Join us in sending a message that we will not allow the Antelope Valley to be the dumping grounds for criminals anymore!

    Letters will be on site for signatures. You can also join the movement at https://www.facebook.com/nopillowcaserapeist or print, sign and mail the letter on the right of this screen. ”

    Get out people!

  3. I think it is absolutely fantastic that so many concerned citizens are posting comments after this article and many others like it. However, aside from voicing our frustration and anger…we are missing out on an opportunity to use the internet to become better organized.

    If you are so inclined, please include your email address in the response so that we can coordinate and work together to be more effective in opposing this release of the pillowcase rapist.

  4. Hello Everyone:

    I believe it is absolutely appalling that this serial predator is being given another shot at freedom and another opportunity to harm another innocent citizen.

    I recently launched a website geared towards updating the public about sex offenders that move into their area with the hope of creating a grassroots network of concerned citizenry so that we can have a much louder voice when it comes to sex offenders and their release back into our communities.

    I am eager to network with any of you who are interested in taking on a more active role when it comes to the sex offender issue. Too often, we all sit back and watch a community, such as a neighborhood in Palmdale, react to the news. Instead, we need to be more proactive and assertive in making our voices heard year round…not just when it knocks on our own doors.

  5. I e-mailed the below:

    Dear Judge Brown,

    I cannot understand your dogged determination to release Christopher Hubbart upon the public. I also cannot understand why you feel that this individual is best suited only in the Antelope Valley. I am a recent resident of the area and I can tell you that this area is not fit to monitor such an aggressive habitual offender. There is insufficient lighting in a majority of the area creating a too tantalizing environment for such an offender to ignore. My fear is that the dark hours will entice Mr. Hubbart and present too frequent opportunities to engage his foul criminal desires. Not only is this area poorly lit at night, but there is insufficient law enforcement presence in most the area. A mere ankle bracelet is insufficient to monitor such a monster or safeguard the public interest. Again, why is the Antelope Valley being utilized to house such vile violent offender? I assert that this area has been targeted by you and the judicial community as it is poor. Would you dare place him or consider placing him in a affluent community? Lady justice may pretend to be blind, but it is obvious she is judging based on who can place the most gold on her scales! Shame on you a million times over for inflicting further scourge and danger onto one of your more vulnerable communities. This area deserves a reprieve from housing further offenders. If you feel so confident in his release you should ask yourself this question: Do I feel my wife or daughter would be safe with him in their community? If you are not comfortable with him being YOUR neighbor, how DARE YOU make anyone else suffer him as a neighbor. I suggest if you have confidence in your neighborhood’s law enforcement and a mere ankle bracelet, you make him your neighbor. Shame on you for not protecting the poor and vulnerable of this valley. Shame on you for treating this area of the public as expendable!

    Sincerely
    Kara

    • @Kara
      Amazing letter, Kara. Thank you. And, you included things such as poor lighting and insufficient law enforcement to monitor him.

      I hope your letter can get through the judge’s thick skull. Apparently, they don’t look up from their law books and see the real world that you and the rest of us have to live in.

      There should be a moritorium or releasing any former prisoner’s in the Antelope Valley, rapists or others.

      I signed and commented on the petition to the judge and sent emails to several of our local leaders. I’ve never done that before on similar issues but will from now on.

      This has to be ‘the last straw’ as far as the Antelope Valley is concerned.

  6. Dear Residents, Dr. Suarez Coronado Agents of Change, is holding a press conference to oppose the devil from moving to the Antelope Valley. We need to come together and fight to protect our families.

    Please come and voice your constitutional rights!

  8. I have read some of your posts. And I wonder how many of you who are opposed to having Hubbart live in Palmdale, have actually written the Judge. I did, because I am serious about it. Take a look at the Megans Law Sex Offender locations in Palmdale. The number is astonishing. The Antelope Valley cannot continue to be L.A. County’s dumping ground. We as a community have to speak up and speak out, if we want to protect our neighborhoods. I challenge each and every one of you to write Judge Brown and let him know how you feel.

    • The criminal justice system is not a friend. It is designed to create repeat offenders and numerous other issues allowing further reach by the government. The police aren’t there for your protection, why would the court be any different. This site in itself is a microcosm of the community. For every angry post here, there are multiple more that go unvoiced.

      If they can use the same system to justify “giving” us crap we don’t need, they can use it to determine that we don’t want this guy here.

  9. When people try to limit the freedom of movement/choice of its worst to best citizens then they ultimately limit their own future rights.

    Odd how people are asking this boogeyman to be “restricted, move, etc” elsewhere yet they don’t see that by asking for the deprivation of rights of others there will come a time when their own rights will be deprived by the government or simply those with the greatest might and voice.

    I can’t comprehend why people are so afraid of this boogeyman. he is a spawn of this society. He did his time in one of our gulags and is coming out a better citizen just like a large part of the ex-prisoner population. Suck it up people, this is America, the rights of the individual supercede the rights of the group, Right???

    • A repeat offender who has been “rehabilitated” twice before. Both previous releases brought new attacks. This isn’t a boogeyman. Its a real, flesh and blood monster.

    • Boi Ngyen… What a bunch of nonsense. You managed to work in multiple fallacies per paragraph. I see a slippery slope, false analogy, and poisoning the well. Let’s try to use logic instead of just spouting off.

      • Exactly.

        It almost smells of sarcasm the way Boi Ngyen suggests this serial predator is “coming out a better citizen”.

        This predator already received more than enough chances to prove he learned his lesson. It is disgusting that some people think he has earned a right to walk our streets a free man.

        The simple fact of the matter is that he earned a life sentence behidn bars and our society is failing its citizens by allowing him to breathe air as a free man.

    • You hardly know what you are talking about. He did not become a better person . He told the judge he didn’t feel bad and will do it again if given the chance. Please know your facts before you speak. I do agree on equality no matter who you are, however, one’s freedom ends when it interferes with another’s freedom. And he has countlessly taken the freedom of so many by forcing them into brutal rape. Not just rape, which in it’s self is wrong, but brutal rape with different objects. For all we know, he could have left some for dead. Maybe you’re not afraid, because you are not a vulnerable woman.

  10. Why don’t they house him next to the judge that is going to release him? That would be an awesome idea!

    • Nah. An even better idea might be if he offends again, the judge has to go to prison as an accomplice.

      But, then again, someone will have to have been harmed for that to happen.

      • William,

        You are kind of on to something. These judges in our legal system are almost allowed to operate without any accountability. Many have lifetime appointments and others are elected without ever really even having any challengers. They just walk in during election time unopposed.

        It would be nice if there were some accountability for the judges and DAs who fail to punish these sex offenders to the fullest extent of the law.

  11. I have one thing to say to the judge who wants to release this serial rapist into our community. If you are in fact going to release this monster then release him to live somewhere near your family, your wife, your daughters, and your nieces. Why do the people in the AV have to keep housing all these rapists? Don’t we have enough of them living here already?

  12. “Hubbart was deemed a “sexually violent predator” in a 2001 state appellate court decision. Brown previously approved his release at a home in Lake Los Angeles, another Antelope Valley community, but public outcry prompted the owner of the residence to withdraw his property from consideration in November.

    Born in Pasadena and reared in Claremont, Hubbart was sentenced to Atascadero State Hospital after a series of rapes in 1972. He was released in 1979 and moved to the Bay Area, where he resumed committing sexual assaults and was convicted and sentenced in 1982 to 16 years in prison.

    He was released on parole in 1990, again committed sexual assaults, and returned to prison later the same year.”

    ——-

    RIDICULOUS. Anyone else who thinks that this guy would not commit another crime is beyond delusional. He has been released twice and in that span has continually shown an inability to reform. How about showing clemency to the 40 victims (confirmed) and possibly even more? He’s a proven violent serial rapist. A rabid dog would have been put down already. Yeah, I’m comparing him to a rabid dog.

  13. It’s absurd that there is even a debate about putting this guy in the Antelope Valley.

    I’m going to ask Steve Knight, Steve Fox, Michael Antonovich, etc. to ask the judge “What proof or evidence do you need to cancel the placement of this guy in the Antelope Valley? Are there any circumstances in the law that would cause you to change your mind?”

    If we are all simply voicing opinions that the judge won’t or can’t consider, we won’t be effective. What does the judge need in this case to make any change and then we can go from there?

  14. This scumbag should have been taken care of a long time ago.We have enough crap in this valley as it is, just more trash we are going to have to take out

  15. Cut his arms and legs off both and drop him out of a plane into Mexico somewhere and let him try to make a living down there.

  16. There are plans ”in the works” now for a HUGE Rally with ”John & Ken”… Don’t know the date yet, but I’m sure it will be publicized soon…

    What if ”CoveredCalifornia” offered him CASTRATION as a condition of being released??? He’s still VIOLENT, so even that procedure would just ”invite” another criminal act…IMHO

  17. He won’t last, someone will take him out. They are getting the public to do what they can’t.

  18. If you comment on this article, please sign the petition and indicate it in your comment.

    The more signatures, the better. I did and it’s fairly easy and you can add a comment to the petition.

  19. It’s time we stood up for our neighborhoods!! Antelope Valley has to stop being a dumping ground for every “rehabilitated” criminal in the state! Where is Mayor Ledford in all of this?? What about Mike Antonovich?? We need action – not just words! We all pay taxes up here – our families desire the right to be protected! I’m sure there is a nice house next to the judges residence!! Why not send him there?!

  20. Why dump him out here! Why not dump him in Downtown LA! Seems like the AV is a dumping ground for criminals an other issues! Well I’m sure he’s gona get a BIG BIG HUG from all the neighbors around him!

  21. FACT: We all know that garbage is dumped in the desert and human garbage such as this rapist, parolees, gang members, child molesters, pan handlers, drug pushers, killers and every other type of human scum is dumped in the good old Antelope Valley. Nothing new about that. Have a nice day,,, in the AV.

  22. Granted this guy SHOULD b doing life…..Palmdale we got this…Alot has changed since the 80’s so if this Whipper Snapper thinks hes gonna come out here and have a nice vacation….[removed]…I just wanna see this clown and hit him upside the head with a pillowcase full of nickles….Have his ass goin
    back to the Judge and b like “Yea [removed] didnt work out in Palmdale”….

  23. i have a nice shed available in the back of my house where I keep my clean linens available…how much should I charge…

  24. GREAT! NEAR SCHOOLS!!!!!!

    • I think you typed in the wrong address. The proposed housing site is on avenue R and 200th street. Not 20th E and R. Either way I do not wish he gets moved out to the AV. I honestly think he needs to stay locked up.

  25. Send him to East Ave R Let the gang members know right where he lives let them have their way with him.

  27. I wonder if the rapist is like oh no, not the AV. That place sucks! Really though, the doctors are to blame on this. What sort of doctor would declare a guy that is so obviously dangerous to be ‘cured’?

    • Silly, that would be a psychiatrist or psychologist.They never make mistakes, do they?

  28. Let’s not forget that they are saying he is being “conditionally released” and that he has been “rehabilitated”..what I take from those words is that this is nothing but a social experiment to see if he will re-offend. To actually know if someone is truly rehabilitated would mean that he has already been living on his own and has not re-offended since I doubt that this has ever occurred he is truly not “rehabilitated” in any way, shape, or form!…Age does not matter and I love how he will be “closely monitored”…we have all heard the stories of those failed monitors. Is this really a risk worth taking? Someone actually had the nerve to say he knows “girls that would be capable of taking care of themselves from this guy”…guess what for every one girl that can possibly “take care of themselves against this guy” there is going to be another girl who can’t!!…so let’s just release him and see if the experiment works or not and if it does…success…if it fails…another victim for life and he gets returned to his cage…doesn’t make sense to me. How about letting the people who are footing his bill to even be around in the first place decide…the tax-payers of California…a vote for their tax dollars to keep him locked up in a 24/7 prison facility or for their tax dollars to fund his “conditional living” in a regular home setting?…Time for another call to John and Ken and pressure to be put on the owners of the home that would allow a monster like this to live in it! Someone keep us posted on planned rallies to stop this injustice!

    • Very well said. When is the rally and where can we sign a petition? He hasn’t had the opportunity to reoffend, once out he will.Send him to the area he is from, Claremont.

    • Most criminals have lost Faith. When bored enough they’ll start another argument with society because they know that there really isn’t any Unity; putting them back into prison.

      Keep a Firearm at home. Stay with family and friends from your childhood and Church. And stay safe.

      Stay clean.
      (Stay Chaste.)

  30. Being a liberal I think he deserves a second chance. Love and understanding is what it is all about.

    • JOHN ARE YOU SERIOUS?? I BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES TOO…FOR SOME PEOPLE BUT NOT FOR A PIG LIKE THIS WHOSE RAPED AND TORTURED 40+ WOMEN AND ADMITTED TO IT….HE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED ON THE STREETS AGAIN!!!!!!! YOU MUST BE JUST AS SICK…LET THE COURTS KNOW YOULL RENT HIM A ROOM IN YOUR HOME…AND SEE HOW FAR YOU GET ..LOL

    • This has nothing to do with being “liberal.” He has already had forty second chances. He has proven that he doesn’t belong out on the streets in any neighborhood.

  31. Why don’t they make eunuchs out of these people? If he simply admitted to rape, then take away his will to live and communicate with healthy God Fearing folk.

    • (I will be preparing a hand-written argument for the Justice.
      It will be sent out with the Post no later than the end of 7 days.)

    • Some states actually do chemical castration. Keep in mind that rape is not an act of sex for a rapist it is an act of control/power. So even if a person is lacking the ability or the hormones to engage in sex, it doesn’t mean they won’t find another form of release for their desires.

      • Rape is NOT about “power and control” – that’s just a cute phrase someone made up that caught on. The majority of rapes are about sexual pleasure – date rapes, or a party where a bunch or drunken frat boys rape a girl who is passed out.. you think that’s about “power and control” ?? no. Its about sex, as are most rapes.

        If rape was about power and control, then why not force the girl to do something useful? like paint your house.. or do your dishes… Why is sex involved?

        People get confused because “power and control” is something that must be used in order to commit a rape, She is not just going to let someone rape her is she? But it is not the main motivation in a rape, sex is.

          • No study or website in the world will sway my opinion on this issue. I am a man, I know how pleasurable sex is for us men, I also understand that porn is a 10 billion dollar business, a vast majority of which caters to men. And of all the porn fetishes I have heard of, I have yet to hear of a “power and control” fetish – matter of fact the ONLY time I EVER hear the term “power and control” is when the subject of rape comes up. And consider this, how many rapists, when given a survey, are going to admit they raped because they are too ugly/old/pathetic to get sex any other way? I think if I was a rapist and I took that survey I would check the box that says “power and control” too – it would be the least embarrassing answer.

          • @noway that is fine, you are welcome to disbelieve the 100’s of studies and professional who clearly state that rape is not about sex for the majority of offenders.

            You forget however, that you are probably an average male with a normal healthy sex drive. Sexual offenders are not healthy. Their perceptions are all messed up. They link sexual arousal with being in control. They are damaged human beings.

            Never heard of power and control in sex? Look up things like Dominant and submissive relationships, BDSM etc. Those involve power and control. The difference is that it is between 2 consenting adults.

        • @noway

          “If rape was about power and control, then why not force the girl to do something useful? like paint your house.. or do your dishes… Why is sex involved? ”

          I think that’s called ‘traditional marriage’.

  32. Whats the point of sending people to jail if they aren’t going to be rehabilitatted by the act of depriving them of freedom and mental re-education?

    Odd how the tradition of the scarlet letter is continued in this “democratic” society.

    Perhaps California should invest in opening up a special town that is full of one type of people…….Just like Manzanar, Indian Reservations, Jewish Ghettos……etc.. It would facilitate better management of the herd.

    • Isi Yoo… Sorry but that’s a faulty analogy. He didn’t commit a sin in an overzealously religious society, he raped a lot of women. You can’t compare a serial rapist to the treatment of the Jews, Native Americans, etc…

  33. This is so disgusting … Our AV is LA dumping grounds …. I really am thinking of moving out of the AV now .. And they tell us to shop and support our community for what to run into screw ups like this person .. Our crime is high our schools are bad now this WOW.

    • this guy is from LA???…wow…I hope they have a good home for me in perfectland …where there is no immoral behavior whatsoever…

    • I couldn’t have said it better Michelle. I’m a single Mom of 4 kids, going to school full time, my major being criminal justice and I’m absolutely disgusted by our justice system. Just another reason why I’ll most likely be changing my major. I’m looking to move out of the A.V. myself. This place has turned into a complete dump!!! The schools are despicable and so are the ghetto trash that continue to move/live here.

    • Done,Thanks Dana for starting this; only 35 signatures, come on folks, we can do better.Just click on the link.

    • Done, Thank you Dana for starting this petition. Only 35 signatures so far, come on folks, we can do better.Just click on the link, easiest thing you’ll do all day.

    • Thanks, Dana. I don’t usually pay a lot of attention to these issues but not this time. I saw a woman interviewed on TWC3 News who was near where he was previously supposed to move to and she got to me. She was calm and rational and she and others were successful in opposing his previous location.

      That’s what it takes.

  36. Why is he even getting out of prison in the first place? Let the druggies out of prison instead of the rapist and pedophiles…
    Don’t understand how the damn gov’t gets away with this…..it’s time for the people to stand up to the gov’t and take back what is ours…this country….

    Hang the bastard…and all like him

  37. Why out of state? We don’t want him in south Carolina either. In jail is a good place. 40 RAPES. What’s going to make him stop?

  38. To whom it may concern,
    Antelope Valley seems to be the new dumping grounds for all rapist, child molesters etc.
    Is this the location you all have chosen? If so please give innocent people warning! ! Not only did they move the low housing from LA to Antelope Valley, but are now making this a place to dump child molesters and rapist.
    What about us families that have actually invested in this town? Who have purchased homes? Who have children going to school here? Wives, mothers who work late hours?
    Please stop and think if it were your spouses, children are grandchildren even mothers. Would you feel safe allowing a man who has raped 40 women (that we know of) to be released in your families neighborhood? ? I highly doubt that! Please keep him in prison for the rest of his life, please do not allow him to rape another innocent woman or child. Please do not help him this disgusting man continue to harm innocent women and children.
    Please keep in mind that if you decide to release this man he will repeat again like he has continued to do when out and it will be 100% your fault for approving his release.
    And if you feel he is a change man then please allow him to live In your neighborhood next to your family and friends not ours.

    • Ok, Ms. Tina Burgess, you are right in some respects but I know you’re not referring to lower income families moving here from LA when you say “they move the low housing from LA to Antelope Valley” RIGHT???? Because if you are, you are ignorant!!! I fall into the “low income” category, and I am a single mother taking care of four kids BY MYSELF. I am educated, NOT ghetto, and am doing a damn good job raising my kids with ethics and values. So, you really shouldn’t look down upon people who fall in this category and make it seem like we’re beneath you.

      • They’ve already cut his nuts off. Now cut his arms off and I guarantee you he won’t be raping women any more. Both arms at the shoulder if he ever came to my neighborhood. With a chainsaw.

  39. As a well armed woman I don’t want to tempt fate but I’d hope if he decides to re-offend he’d end up at my home. It would be his last offense. My only wish is that he’d suffer immense pain and suffering before his death.

  40. The only person who makes any sense here is Chuck. Other than that, you’re all talking about an impossibility as saying sexual predators [that’s how it spelled for future reference] to go and live on islands or with judges. The Judge is simply the seer of Law, he’s making the best decision that he can, again THAT HE CAN. You want to send him out of state and be someone else problem? Then you’re a selfish bastards. Yeah, he’s a rapist. He’s also 62 years old. At that age, anyone [even a high schooler] has an even fighting chance [if it comes down to even a physical confrontation.] I know girls that would be capable of taking care of themselves from this guy. You’re all over-reacting. I don’t like the fact that he’s going to be here, but as long as the terms and conditions of to which his release is based upon and the County Sheriff along with the DA uphold it, I’m not going to care until something bad happens. In that case, they will just send his ass back to jail and problem done. And before you say “But it could have been avoided.” Just know this, this is how the real world works people. Suck it up, bad [removed] happens and gets fixed like it always does and has.

    • Then allow him to live with you and your family, since he is so harmless at the age of 62.
      Don’t go off of one person’s comment on sending him away. If you read more we are all trying to keep him in prison for the rest of his life!!! Not send him to another state, what good does that do? But when we speak of keeping him out of the AV it’s because this is where he is being released. Don’t fight or try correcting us, instead help us fight keeping that man away from are family and friends! !

      • You obviously didn’t read my comment, again please do so. And I understand that, but that’s not going to happen. If his terms are broken, he will be. I don’t want him here anymore than any of you do, trust me. And I’m not trying to fight anyone with this. I’m simply saying is that if they’re going to release him here, they’re going to release him here. Yeah, you have a say in if it’ll happen or not, but in the end they’re going to do what they want to do. Read the comments, someone even mentioned sending him to a different state. Your right, I shouldn’t read out on just one comment. But 4 people basically had that same idea. Also, just a heads up guys. If he stays with a Judge, or even me [like you said] he’s still in the AV. So you still lose. I’m not taking him in, didn’t say I would and never would. I’m not fighting for the guy to be here, again I don’t want him here. I just want everyone to stop bitching about it so much and have the same idea as ‘prepared’ up there. Simply take care of the problem yourself if it comes down to something like that happening, other than that, let the Sheriff and the DA handle it.

        • “You’re all over-reacting” and “I’m not going to care until something bad happens,” David, I think you ought to re-read what you wrote. It’s quite the statement you make.

        • @David. If you haven’t signed the petition, please do so. You took the time to write two lengthy comments.

        • Sentencing guidelines were different when he was sent to jail. Bummer that he is being released.

    • His age has nothing to do with anything. 62 is not even that old. The issue is there that the man is evil, and should not be released at all. Even Michael Antonivich himself has stated this.

      Bad stuff does happen, however there are some events in life that can be prevented. If we can stop a SERIAL RAPIST coming to the AV why not try and stop it. Why should an innocent persons life be ruined first?

      Yes, this is the real world, and we live in the United States where we are given a right to voice our opinion and fight if we want something changed.

    • David you say you won’t care UNTIL something bad happens and in that case they will just send him back to jail and problem done. Well apparently you don’t personally know any victims of rape. The problem WON’T BE DONE because the criminal is in jail, for the VICTIM the crime is forever. Some people are so callous to others feelings. Oh and by the way just because he’s 62 first mean a victim has a fighting chance. I know a victim and the offender was in his late 50s and she couldn’t fight him off. And the judge sentenced him time served LESS than 45 days because HE WAS OLD SICK AND DYING. Bastard lived 14 more years very comfortably I might add as the VICTIM acted out, cried, asked why and questioned many things about herself, her life all because the “problem” WASN’T DONE. . There was NO JUSTICE for her

  41. We do not the pillowcase rapist any where in Palmdale, do not want any where in California, put him with the judge , in his house or next door so he can keep an eye on him all the time, he is not welcome here at all! What is wrong with that Judge, rapist or child preditors don’t ever change no mater how old they get!

  42. Raped 40 women. Why isn’t he doing life? Problem solved.

    I guess we need a ’40 Strikes’ law.

    • This is how it works it looks like:
      “Committing a crime below or more than the stated strikes exempts anyone from that law.”

  43. Why would some MORON allow this man to live in an area where there is a high school and a junior high school. WHAT IDIOTS.

  44. Why doesn’t the judge rent him a room at the Judge’s home this way he can keep a close eye on him.

    • Unfortunately, judges and parole board members don’t have to be held accountable for their decisions. If he re-offends, no problemo for them. No skin off their noses.

      That’s the problem. They can make bad decisions all day and come back and do it again the next day.

  45. someone find a nice little island with nothing on it but fire ants and deadly spiders and send all those sexual preditors there forever, let them fend for themselves. especially the child preditors, let them deal with each other.
