(Associated Press) The California Supreme Court denied Los Angeles County's appeal to stop the release of convicted serial rapist Christopher Hubbart, who law enforcement officials said is a significant threat to public safety.
The state's high court issued the denials Wednesday of both Hubbart's release and his specific release to Los Angeles County. That means 62-year-old Hubbart — a convicted serial rapist who has admitted to raping and sexually assaulting 38 women in California between 1971 and 1982 — will be released as soon as housing is found.
