Christopher Hubbart, 63, 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.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Christopher Hubbart<\/strong>, who admitted to raping approximately 40 women, could potentially live in the Palmdale area when he is conditionally released, a Santa Clara County judge announced Friday.<\/p>\n

The serial rapist may be housed at 20315 East Avenue R, Judge Gilbert Brown said in court. There is no date scheduled for Hubbart’s release, but a public hearing on his proposed residence will be held next month in San Jose, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

“I will continue to oppose Hubbart’s release. My top priority is to protect our community,” District Attorney Jackie Lacey said. “If Hubbart is housed in Los Angeles County, my office will work with law enforcement to make sure that he is closely monitored at all times and that all terms and conditions of his release are strictly enforced.”<\/p>\n

This is the second Antelope Valley location that has been considered for Hubbart. In November, the owner of a Lake Los Angeles residence withdrew his property from consideration, amid public outcry. Read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hubbart, 63, was nicknamed the \u201cPillowcase Rapist\u201d because he muffled his victims’ screams with a pillowcase over their heads. View a timeline of Hubbart\u2019s criminal, social, and legal history here.<\/a><\/p>\n
