Barger Issues Statement on Proposed Predator Placement in Antelope Valley
Tonight, a public notice was issued regarding the proposed housing of a sexually violent predator in an Antelope Valley community. The Department of State Hospitals is proposing to house Christopher Hubbart at 28800 Cruthers Creek Road, Pearblossom, CA 93553.
The site is actually in the community of Juniper Hills, located south of Pearblossom. Supervisor Barger issued the following statement, calling on the community to voice their perspectives on the proposed location:
“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.
While I understand that the state performs a comprehensive study and assessment before proposing a site, nothing takes the place of the real-world perspectives that only community members can offer. I want to ensure my constituents are kept informed about this process and have every opportunity to weigh in on this decision.”
Members of the public may submit written comments to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office at svpcomments@da.lacounty.gov on or before the deadline of September 17, 2024.
A representative from the Los Angeles County District Attorney will join the Juniper Hills Town Council meeting tomorrow, September 4, to explain the Sexually Violent Predator Conditional Release program and provide more background information. The meeting will take place at the Juniper Hills Community Center, located at 31401 106th Street East, Juniper Hills, CA 93543.
The comments will ultimately be submitted to the Department of State Hospitals and the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
A court hearing to review the suitability of the proposed housing location is scheduled for October 1, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. at the Los Angeles County Superior Court’s Hollywood Courthouse.
