Sen. Scott Wilk (R-Santa Clarita) issued a statement today vehemently opposing the proposal to release notorious “Pillowcase Rapist” Christopher Hubbart back into the Antelope Valley.

“He wasn’t welcome here ten years ago, and he isn’t welcome today,” said Senator Wilk. “How can someone who has admitted to raping at least 40 women, whose crimes span decades, be allowed back into society? The Antelope Valley has been treated as a dumping ground for sexually violent predators over and over again. We are not a dumping ground. As a community, we must stand together to make our voices heard, loud and strong, and oppose this plan.”

According to Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, Hubbart was granted conditional release following a Santa Clara County Superior Court decision in 2023. The Los Angeles Superior Court will now have the final say at a hearing scheduled for October 1, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. in Dept. 113 at the Hollywood Courthouse.

The proposed address for Hubbart’s relocation is 28800 Cruthers Creek Road, Pearblossom, CA, 93553.

Members of the public are highly encouraged to submit written comments to the District Attorney’s office through September 17, 2024 at svpcomments@da.lacounty.gov.
