Prosecutors are seeking to revoke the release of a serial rapist whose residence in a rural neighborhood has upset a Southern California desert community.
Santa Clara County Judge Richard Loftus on Wednesday is expected to consider a request to lock up "Pillowcase Rapist" Christopher Hubbart in a state mental health hospital. Another judge released Hubbart from the hospital last year and approved his living in a community near Palmdale, California, in northeast Los Angeles County. The 64-year-old is required to wear a monitoring device around his ankle. He lives with an around-the-clock security guard.
Hubbart used pillowcases to muffle the screams of some of the dozens of women he assaulted between 1971 and 1982.
