LOS ANGELES—Despite opposition from residents, prosecutors, and county Supervisor Kathryn Barger, a sexually violent predator known as the Pillowcase Rapist will be allowed to live at a home in the Antelope Valley community of Juniper Hills upon his release from a state hospital, according to a judge’s ruling released Tuesday.

A judge in Santa Clara County previously ordered that Christopher Hubbart, now 74, be released from a state hospital. That began the process of determining where Hubbart should be housed, with officials ultimately recommending the location in Juniper Hills, south of Pearblossom.
