The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that serial rapist Christopher Evans Hubbart was released Wednesday, July 9 and placed in a residence at 20315 East Avenue R, an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County.
Hubbart was released from state custody during the morning hours and transported to Lancaster Sheriff’s Station, where he completed his mandated registration as a sex offender, according to Sheriff’s officials.
Following his registration, Hubbart was then transported by the private firm responsible for his supervision (Liberty Health) to his court-ordered placement home.
The area where Hubbart was released (20315 East Avenue R) is policed by the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station, and Hubbart will be under constant supervision for a period of several weeks to months, Sheriff’s officials said.
Hubbart 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. View a timeline of Hubbart’s criminal, social, and legal history here.
Since being designated as a sexually violent predator in Santa Clara County in 1996, Hubbart has remained in the custody of the Department of State Hospitals.
His release will be monitored by the Liberty Conditional Release Program, which contracts with the state to place and supervise sexually violent predators.
Under the terms of his release, Hubbart will be required to wear a GPS ankle monitor for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
He will be transported to group and individual therapy sessions twice a week. For the first six months to a year after his release, a Liberty supervisor will accompany him every time he goes out in public.
To address community concerns about Hubbart’s release, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is responding to frequently asked questions on its website.

Though Christopher Hubbart maybe the most extreme case of sexual assault predators that we are aware of here in The AV now, you can go to this link….enter your address, and discover who the sexual predators are in YOUR neighborhood.

Indeed this creep is not the only sex offender in the Antelope Valley, but certainly one to be carefully watched.
A great app for iPhone is “Offenders” which will give you a picture (usually) of the offender, where he/she lives (address) and a brief description including the Penal Code this “person” violated. Pass this on to all your friends and family.
I’m not sure if it’s available for other operating systems (Android, Windows) or not, but wouldn’t hurt to check it out.
Missvane says
40 women? Really?! 40!! Did he miss his life sentence by 1?! Why can’t the courts/ justice system have common sense?
jo says
I would like to know, under his terms and conditions of release. what they consider a large number of children living near his home. Section D.2 states will not reside in neighborhoods with large number of children, nor reside near any park, school, or minor’s playground area. would love to see CONREP who found the house screw up on terms of release. Just a thought!
Bird says
To all you in or around this P.O.S just remember one thing be expecting the unexpected. Be alert at all times
ron says
I hope somebody sends a mail bomb to the Judge that released him.
ron says
Time the gang members open fire on his house. Time to send in the death squads.
anna says
Well all the folks in Lake LA know what he looks like now, and if they see him at the local Saddleback market buying pillow cases then they should be concerned until then, keep an eye out and lock your door….
Bob says
For this guy to “blend in”,,, for any of use to blend in here at the AV, I sure hope he speaks Spanish.

Dude looks like the guy in the movie “LITTTLE CHILDREN” 2006.
People read the scarlett letter (fiction) or mein kampf. I’m flabberghasted on how americans forget history and its commentaries.
I find it odd that the most vocal bloggers only comment on this sex offender. There are over 100+ sex offenders living in the AV and THOUSANDS living in Los Angeles county. If people are really sincere, why not apply the final solution to everyone. After all, GOD will redeem those showing wrath towards towards the misguided. Bunch of Hypocrites. Condemn them all not just one.
This pervert did his time and as far as society sees it is in compliance. Why then are people asking for blood? It must be their nature, just like those crying for blood during the crucifictions of thousands of criminals by the Romans. Where was the justice then by the mob of thousands that yearned for blood. Hypocrites.
What the AV Times doesn’t report is that a local vigilante group operating in the sector where this sex offender is going to live is going to make his life HELL to the point where he moves. And the cops and churches in that area wont say a word. That the way they roll. The rule of the masses in the land of the so-called free.
Irena says
I believe it has more to do with the fact that he has admitted to over 40 rapes, not just 1 or 2. He was already released once and reoffended within a very short time. The concern is that he will never be rehabilitated and is a danger to society.
Some people will never fit into normal society. This man has mental issues that should have kept him away from the general population.
james smith says
Your absolutely right. Odds are he will re-offend and is a great potential danger to society. 1 victim is too many. Thats why the protest should be directed at all. Not just SOs but all infracters. Shining Knights want to come to the rescue, then all infracters must be targeted. But it wont be done, because most people are transgressors in some way other. The only differences are the levels of rehabilitation, utility, and perception. Your absolutely right Irena, this man is a danger to potential victims but why stop the protest with only one person when their are thousands of infractors in the Antelope valley.
Just though it would be sad for hatred to lead to further victims or victimization that’s all. But I hope the protestors dont stop with one person or group. No one is commenting on solutions to safeguard the victims as well as those being rehabilitated by for profit public & private entities.
Irena says
It is like drawing a line in the sand. After a point enough is enough. Just like there are degrees of crimes and punishment there are degrees of outrage.
As a society, we tend to want to give people a second chance, so 1 infraction might be forgiven, but at some point a criminal passes from just making a stupid mistake to being a real threat. Even our criminal justice system is set up that way.
Bob says
Hey bleeding heart liberal! How about you hire him to babysit your kids? I’m sure he’ll be needing a job. Or better yet why don’t you have him move in with you so his life won’t be a living hell.
James Smith says
Right, slander & insults. Nice. Not interested in moving in with a SO hubbert, Bob. I just don’t believe in spreading hate. If I’m wrong for not advocating violence and harassment, then just send some people to Denny’s to harass and instigate me. After all, you people seem to be intolerant to dissent.
Marie says
I hope the waste of skin doesn’t have a moment’s peace here. I am so sick and tired of them dumping scum here!!!!!! Why should taxpayers be footing the bill for this animal? This story makes me sick. I really think he should have been released in the neighborhood the judge who released him lives in. If this freak is no longer a threat, the judge should feel just great about him living around HIS wife and daughters!!!!!
T says
I do not understand how anyone in their right mind believes that someone who could rape 40 women could ever be rehabilitated in our penal system. It makes zero sense, this man will always be a monster. California will regret this decision, and will get the shit sued out of them by the victim/s. RIDICULOUS
Bob says
This guy is living in an ideal place for his kind,,,, the sewer called the AV! Come one come all!
Nan Romo says
How in gods name is this idiot planning on meeting his parole plan?There is no way he is going to become accepted in his community and no one will give him a jab let alone serve him! Ladies be careful because you can’t trust these people providing his security and the police are few and far between in that area. All that stupid judge did was increase the stress in our communities and put the police in a position where they may be spread thin! God help us all!
J O says
I agree with you! I live not far from that house and am not happy about this. Why would they let this maniac loose! Who is going to pay the rent, buy his food, and pay for the surveillance? You are right, nobody in their right mind will give him a job. So he gets free rent and support for how long? Way to go, let’s just reward him for his crimes against women! What happens once those 6 months are up? Does he magically become a model citizen? Seems to me it would be cheaper to give him the death penalty or leave him where he was…I just do not understand the logic here unless they are hoping somebody will put a bullet in his head and save them the job.
Quigley says
There is no logic…I will go to work tomorrow so I can contribute my share of the rent for this POS! I would put odds on your last sentence JO!
Concerned Resident says
The state is paying $2400.00 a month rent for his housing – tax dollars of hard working law abiding citizens are paying his rent. He is not on probation or parole his is being supervised by a private company contracted by the state again more tax dollars.
Nancy P says
Supervised…protected, and tax payer are paying his rent. What’s new? Tax payers are paying many people’s rent in the AV. And utilities, and medical, food and cell phones.
The best way to predict future behavior is by looking at past behavior.
I feel sorry for the people who live in the same area as him. I’m sure he won’t be going very far from home. Everyone needs to remember to lock their doors, don’t give rides to strangers and lock their car doors.
prisoner in my own home says
I live a very short distance from this guy and have for over 20 years and I have always felt safe until now. That’s why I have been looking for houses out of state so me and my family. Which includes 2 beautiful young girls can feel safe. For now we will have to keep my doors and windows locked.
no
LEPER JAMESON says
ITS THE LAW OF THE LAND, SHUT UP AND PUT UP STOP WINING YOU SOUND LIKE A KIDS WINING AND WINING, IF YOU DONT LIKE THE JUDGES DECISION THEN MOVE OUT OF THE AV TO COMPTON OR WATTS.
Nancy P says
So you’re saying you do agree with the judge? Why do we have to move to Watts or Compton? How about San Francisco or Seattle?
J O says
LEPER, You obviously are uneducated since you cannot even spell the word Whining…Real intelligent statement…Maybe he can be your new BFF…
Missvane says
It’s the law of the land? Wow. It’s common sense that the judge was lacking.
