Man who raped 38 women set to walk freeBy Associated PressOctober 31, 2013 | 11:41amLOS ANGELES — Residents and government officials from northern Los Angeles County are outraged that a serial rapist linked to attacks on dozens of women could be released into their community.A Santa Clara County judge announced at a court hearing Friday that Christopher Hubbart, 62, might be moved into a single-family home in Lake Los Angeles, an unincorporated area near Palmdale.“They’re taking someone who is not from here, who has a horrific criminal record and they’re dumping him in the Antelope Valley,” Palmdale city spokesman John Mlynar told the Los Angeles Times. “We don’t think that’s right.”Hubbart, who has spent nearly two decades in a state mental hospital, has admitted to raping 38 women in California between 1971 and 1982. He is among more than 500 offenders in the state who have been confined under a law that allows authorities to commit sexually violent predators to state hospitals if they are deemed to have mental disorders that make them likely to reoffend, even if they have already served their entire prison sentences.Earlier this year, Judge Gilbert Brown granted Hubbart’s conditional release and rejected arguments that he should be released in the San Francisco Bay Area, where his most recent crimes were committed, and said he should return to Los Angeles County, where he was born and raised and considers to be his home. In August, the California Supreme Court denied Los Angeles County’s appeal to stop his release and his specific relocation to the county./quote]http://nypost.com/2013/10/31/man-who-raped-38-women-set-to-walk-free/
