Christopher Hubbart's release into Antelope Valley sparks outrage among residents already protesting previous placements, highlighting community concerns about being a dumping ground for sex offenders.
Supervisor Kathryn Barger stated, 'Hubbart was already placed in this region in 2014, only to be removed for violating conditions of release.' Addressing the judge's decision, Barger expressed her frustration over the lack of safeguards for community safety.
Judge Robert Harrison maintained, 'That two other sexually violent predators have been released to nearby areas is not relevant to the evaluation of the proposed property.' This emphasizes a judicial perspective focused solely on individual cases rather than cumulative community impact.
Residents voiced their shock and disbelief, questioning safety protocols in place. This case serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggles surrounding mental health treatment and community safety.
