SVP William Stafford was officially assigned to a home in the Jacumba community today following a placement hearing in the San Diego Central Courthouse. Community members have been protesting this move for months. More info:
JACUMBA HOT SPRINGS – A placement hearing on Oct. 11 determined that William Stafford, a sexually violent predator with a long history of repeat rape convictions will be transferred to the Jacumba community on conditional release.
Stafford committed a series of sexual assaults in 1971, one of which was against a minor. In 1977, following probational release, Stafford committed sexual offenses against three different victims, one of whom was 15 years old. He pled guilty to forcible rape. Stafford is classified as a sexually violent predator , a designation for those convicted of sexually violent offenses and diagnosed with a mental disorder that makes them likely to re-offend. After serving their prison sentences, SVPs undergo treatment at state hospitals, but may also petition courts to continue treatment in supervised outpatient locations.
The San Diego Superior Court has ordered the conditional release of Stafford to 42457 Old Highway 80, Jacumba, CA 91934.
