Soft-on-crime policies were set to benefit the serial “Pillowcase Rapist” yet again as a blue state prepared for the latest release of the infamous sex offender who’d admitted to over 100 rapes.

A community north of Los Angeles, California remained up in arms ahead of an Oct. 1 placement hearing for 73-year-old convicted serial rapist Christopher Hubbart.
“We all moved out here to get away from this stuff,” a man identified as Bob said during a community meeting in Antelope Valley earlier in September.
“I think next time he’s gonna escalate and he’s gonna start murdering,” neighbor Cheryl Slack-Holbrook had told Fox 11. “And people are not gonna put up with this. We’re done with it…He got life. He should stay in the prison for life.”
Opinions from locals like that were loosely shared by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón who, while agreeing that Hubbart should not be placed in Antelope Valley, appeared more concerned about the where of the rapist, who’d earned his moniker by muffling his victims screams with a pillowcase, than the release itself of the known recidivist.
“Continuing to release sexually violent predators into underserved communities like the Antelope Valley is both irresponsible and unjust,” the George Soros-backed DA said in a Sept. 4 news release. “Repeatedly placing these individuals in the same community shows a blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of our residents. Our deputy district attorneys will persist in opposing Mr. Hubbart’s placement in Antelope Valley. We must demand more from our judicial system, ensuring decisions serve the best interests of our communities while exploring alternative locations for these placements.”
Details of Hubbart’s heinous crimes were accounted for in a May 2014 letter from then-interim Los Angeles County Sheriff John L. Scott who’d urged the Santa Clara County Superior Court to reconsider the release at the time that ultimately found Hubbart remanded to custody after violating the terms of his release.
“He is the most prolific and violent rapist I have encountered in 45 years of California law enforcement. He has been declared a mentally disordered and extremely dangerous violent sex offender,” stated Smith who explained that the convict had admitted to raping over 100 women between 1971-1983.
At the time, the sheriff noted, “After being paroled in 1983, Mr. Hubbart raped a woman on the very day of his release. Mr. Hubbart raped nine more women in the San Jose area that same year before he was apprehended and returned to prison. He was again released in 1990, but returned to custody a short time later after he took a woman hostage.”
“Very few American criminals create the public fear Christopher Hubbart generates,” asserted Smith.
Hubbart’s conditional release had been decided in March 2023 “against the objections of the LADA” by the Santa Clara County Superior Court that left the location for the rapist’s release up to Los Angeles County.
“Some of these people don’t know the heinous stuff that he did,” one community member lamented. “Well, a lot of us have seen a lot of what he did. And you know what, it needs to stop.”
In her own Sept. 16 letter to Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Robert Harrison, LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger wrote in part, “The rural nature of this foothill community and its challenging terrain have impeded the development and availability of a robust communications infrastructure. Cellular phone signals and service, landline telephone services, and internet connections are unreliable and inconsistent. Should any elements of his conditional release require the use of these types of technologies to supervise or monitor Mr. Hubbart, failure is possible and–I believe–imminent.”
She also cautioned that only two sheriff’s deputies were assigned to cover “hundreds of square miles” and no fewer than 25 homes with women and children were within one square mile of the proposed site of Hubbart’s release.
“They are law-abiding citizens who will be subjected to living in fear at no fault of their own,” said Barger as she urged against the release of the rapist.
