\"This<\/a>
This bill is in response to the case of Christopher Evans Hubbart, the so-called \u201cPillowcase Rapist.\u201d Hubbart, who admitted to raping approximately 40 women between 1971 and 1982, could potentially be conditionally released to an Antelope Valley residence.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Steve Fox<\/strong> (D-Palmdale) on Tuesday announced that his Assembly Bill (AB) 1607 received unanimous bipartisan support from the Assembly Public Safety Committee.<\/p>\n

The bill revises the Sexual Violent Predator (SVP) Act to make the process of conditional release of these offenders more transparent and allow input from the areas most affected by their release.<\/p>\n

\u201cCourts have been allowed to make unilateral decisions about placing high risk parolees into other counties without including those communities in the conditional release process,\u201d said Fox. \u201cThis bill will allow local courts and communities to retain control of sexual violent predators.\u201d<\/p>\n

AB 1607 is a technical revision to the Sexual Violent Predator Act and requires that a potential county of domicile for a sexual violent predator (county where the SVP is allegedly from and may be released back to) be given notice and an opportunity to be heard in court prior to determining the location where the SVP will be required to live.<\/p>\n

Once the court determines domicile, the placement and conditional release will be supervised by the county of domicile \u2013 transferring the jurisdiction from one court to another.<\/p>\n

This bill is in response to the case of Christopher Evans Hubbart<\/strong>, the so-called \u201cPillowcase Rapist<\/strong>\u201d who was treated in Santa Clara County. Santa Clara was not required to inform Los Angeles County of the potential to conditionally release Hubbart in Lake Los Angeles until determining placement.<\/p>\n

AB 1607 should simplify this process and allow the areas most affected by a conditional release to have a say in the process.<\/p>\n

AB 1607 now moves to the Assembly Floor for consideration as early as next week.<\/p>\n
