Pearblossom residents outraged over proposed release of "Pillowcase "Rapist" into their community.

Pearblossom, CA.- Residents and community leaders from around the Antelope Valley, Pearblossom and surrounding areas gathered tonight to discuss the placement of serial rapist Christopher Hubbart in Pearblossom also known as the “Pillowcase Rapist”

In March 2023, a Santa Clara County Superior Court deemed Hubbart suitable for conditional release after spending the better part of the last 50 years bouncing around different Californian facilities for numerous rapes and sexual assaults.

"Our Juniper Hills, Pearblossom, and the Antelope Valley residents at large have every right to voice their concerns about this predator's placement in their community," Supervisor Kathryn Barger said.

Residents can send written comments to the L.A. County District Attorney's office at svpcomments@da.lacounty.gov before the deadline of Sept. 17., 2024

The hearing to determine if Hubbart's proposed housing situation is suitable will be on Oct. 1 , 2024 at 1:30 p.m. at L.A. County Superior Court's Hollywood Courthouse.
