Residents Fight Release of "Pillowcase Rapist" in Their Neighborhood

[The Straight Story]

Outraged that the serial "Pillowcase Rapist" could be allowed to live in their neighborhood, fearful Lake Los Angeles residents cried for a change Tuesday that would keep the man out of reach.

Chrisopher Hubbart, 62, admitted to raping 38 women in California between 1971 and 1982. A Santa Clara judge said Oct. 25 that Hubbart could potentially live in the Antelope Valley community when he’s released from prison as early as December.

During Tuesday's heated community meeting, one angry Lake LA resident suggested Hubbart live next door to the judge who signed off on his release -- a suggestion the crowd applauded.

Assemblyman Steve Fox announced plans to look for legal loopholes that could keep Hubbart out of the community. Other upset residents defend that their neighborhood is full of women who live alone and fit the profile of victims Hubbart targeted.

Between 1972 and 1999, Hubbart was arrested and released several times. Now, officials have deemed him safe and made him eligible for release.

1. HLN covered this story last night. It's just crazy that the doctors say that he should be released

He was convicted before there was a '3 Strikes' law - and the judge/jury thought that when he was sent to the mental institution that the doctors would never agree to let him out and that he would spend the rest of his like locked up.

This is just NUTS !!!

2. Should have been sentenced to 38 consecutive life terms.

How the hell is he being released this early?
