When a few Antelope Valley residents learned that a sexually violent predator was set to be released into their community, they called their friend Vladimir Gomez.  

Gomez, a 25-year resident of the area, previously worked to mobilize the community to petition against the placement of “Pillowcase Rapist” Christopher Hubbart into their neighborhood in 2014.
