Convicted rapist Christopher Hubbart, also known as the “Pillowcase Rapist,” will be released from the Department of State Hospitals and could be housed in an Antelope Valley community; however, before his release, officials want to hear from the public about Hubbart’s placement.
A Santa Clara judge found Hubbart suitable for conditional release in March 2023. Hubbart has a long history of committing violent sex crimes against women, with sex assaults dating back to 1973, 1982 and 1990. He was convicted in Los Angeles and Santa Clara counties for a series of rapes.
Hubbart admitted to raping and assaulting about 40 women between 1971 and 1982. Authorities place the number of victims closer to 100. He used a pillowcase to muffle the screams of some of his victims.
The DSH recommended that Hubbart be housed at 28800 Cruthers Creek Road in Pearblossom, near Juniper Hills.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office objected to Hubbart’s conditional release, according to a statement from the agency.
