Christopher Hubbart (shown in this undated booking photo) was called the “Pillowcase Rapist” because he muffled his victims’ screams with a pillowcase over their heads. Hubbart, who admitted to raping around\u00a040 women between 1971 and 1982, could potentially be released to an Antelope Valley home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

PALMDALE \u2013 The City of Palmdale is reminding residents that they have until this Friday, May 16 to submit written comments regarding the proposed housing location for convicted serial rapist Christopher Hubbart<\/strong> at 20315 East Avenue R in unincorporated Los Angeles County.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are encouraging anyone who has an interest in this matter to submit their written comments to the Los Angeles District Attorney\u2019s Office by this Friday,\u201d said Assistant City Attorney Noel Doran. \u201cThey will compile the comments and present them to Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Gilbert Brown at or before the May 21st hearing.\u201d<\/p>\n

How to submit comments<\/strong><\/h3>\n

People may email the Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office at\u00a0HubbartLASafetyTaskForce@da.lacounty.gov<\/a> or write to:<\/p>\n

Judge Brown has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed housing location for Wednesday, May 21, in San Jose. There is no date scheduled for Hubbart\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

Hubbart admitted to raping approximately 40 women between 1971 and 1982. He was called the \u201cPillowcase Rapist\u201d because he muffled his victims\u2019 screams with a pillowcase over their heads. View a timeline of Hubbart\u2019s criminal, social, and legal\u00a0history here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite his heinous crimes, Hubbart was granted a conditional release last year to Los Angeles County. He was originally slated for release to an Antelope Valley home at 17132 Laredo Vista Avenue, but the property owner withdrew his property amid public outcry.<\/p>\n

Last month, Judge Brown announced a second Antelope Valley location (20315 East Avenue R) for Hubbart\u2019s conditional release.<\/p>\n

Thousands of local residents have joined a grassroots movement aimed at blocking Hubbart\u2019s relocation to the Antelope Valley. For more information on the group\u2019s efforts, visit: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nopillowcaserapeist<\/a>.<\/p>\n
