Today, Supervisor Kathryn Barger issued the following statement reacting to the Los Angeles Superior Court’s decision to house Sexually Violent Predator Christopher Hubbart in the Antelope Valley rural community of Juniper Hills:
“I am outraged and extremely frustrated to learn that a third Sexually Violent Predator will be housed in the Antelope Valley. The L.A. Superior Court’s ruling on the ‘Pillowcase Rapist’s’ placement is simply appalling.
Hubbart was already placed in this region in 2014, only to be removed for violating conditions of release. The bottom line is he belongs in a secure and locked facility. Community integration should never have been on the table.
The unincorporated community of Juniper Hills is home to many women and families who work hard and enjoy peaceful lives. Their lives will be turned upside down because of this terrible decision to house a known predator. Hubbart’s heinous crimes are beyond redemption or rehabilitation.”
A copy of the placement order can be obtained by sending a request to the Los Angeles Superior Court’s media team at publicinfo@lacourt.org.
