LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger has written to the Los Angeles Superior Court to formally oppose the placement of a sexually violent predator in the Antelope Valley community of Juniper Hills, her office said Tuesday.
“I submitted this letter to formally add my voice to the scores of others urgently asking the L.A. Superior Court to not place Christopher Hubbart in the Antelope Valley,” Barger said in a statement. “Our desert communities should not disproportionately shoulder the burden of housing sexually violent predators because of their rural nature. It’s unfair and unjust.”
