Pillowcase rapist release delayed

by The AV Times Staff • July 3, 2014

Christopher Evans Hubbart (shown in this undated booking photo) was dubbed the “Pillowcase Rapist” because he muffled his victims’ screams with a pillowcase over their heads. Hubbart, who admitted to raping approximately 40 women between 1971 and 1982, was previously ordered released to an Antelope Valley by Monday, July 7. However, his release has been delayed for at least two weeks.

However, his release has been delayed due to a virus outbreak.

LOS ANGELES – A Santa Clara County judge has delayed the release of 63-year-old serial rapist Christopher Evans Hubbart to an Antelope Valley location until on or before July 21, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced Thursday.

Judge Gilbert Brown previously set this Monday, July 7 as the release date for Hubbart to be placed at 20315 East Avenue R.

His release has been delayed, however, due to a virus outbreak at Coalinga State Hospital, according to the LADA office.

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 the pending release of convicted serial rapist Christopher Hubbart, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is responding to frequently asked questions on its website.

    Should any of my family members be attacked by Pillow, I would have to inflict the exact same actions on Judge Brown. But that is not going to happen..right Judge ??

      There were Kings in the 800’s who would’ve considered current prison facilities inhumane. This guy getting released is a problem, but so is the mentality like the one you expressed.

      The 8th Amendment was put in place for a reason. Why don’t you read up on some of the “privileges” prisoners in Old England were subjected to, and maybe you’ll understand why even the worst people are giving some modicum of decency.

    I found a jps tracking devise that some individual on parole decided to cut off. That’s the same device this guy is getting. There’s no guarantee he will keep it on.

    The Antelope Valley Press ran a front-page story last week reporting that this rapist will get 24-hour security…the Pennsylvania-based firm “Liberty Healthcare” will have their employees watch him at his new rented home, drive him to medical appointments and grocery shopping all at a cost of $2.3 MILLION annually to watch NOT JUST Hubbart but 11 other people like him!!!…And who do you think subsidizes that bill!? Why in the world is all this money being wasted on this scum mystifies me…the money should be split up to all his victims for their pain and suffering!…This country has gone mad and backward in the justice system!

    Is the Liberty Conditional Release Program going to have somebody actually live with him ? How are they going to monitor him 24/7 ? We all know the GPS ankle monitor can be removed if somebody wants to remove it…Who is going to protect the lady who lives next door to him with her kids…or all the other folks in the area? I checked the map and he will be rght down the road from us, we are not happy at all…Let him move in with Judge Gilbert Brown!

      I just noticed that the address he is being released to has changed. Instead of a Lake LA neighborhood, this looks like a small group of houses 3 miles East of Lake LA, surrounded by open desert. I feel bad for those neighbors though they may be well armed just to manage the remote nature of the area. If he tries to go for a walk he may end up coyote food.
