A placement hearing is scheduled for a sexually violent serial predator dubbed the "Pillowcase Rapist," whose planned release to the Antelope Valley has been opposed by residents and elected officials.A placement hearing is scheduled Tuesday for a sexually violent serial predator dubbed the "Pillowcase Rapist," whosehas been opposed by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón and county Supervisor Kathryn Barger, among others.
He was subsequently detained as a "sexually violent predator" and committed to the Department of State Hospitals in 2000. Hubbart was initially released from Coalinga State Hospital in July 2014 and assigned to live at a Palmdale-area home -- despite an outcry from residents and elected officials in the area.
In a footnote in his ruling, the judge wrote that "the actions of the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Office were, in this court's view, reprehensible." Then-L.A. County District Attorney Jackie Lacey said at the time that Hubbart "is a prolific serial rapist and even after years of treatment he remains a danger to women.""Continuing to release sexually violent predators into under-served communities like the Antelope Valley is both irresponsible and unjust," Gascón said in a statement last month.
