The parole of Gary Snavely, considered a sexually violent predator, was still delayed this week after the owner of a property offered to Julian revoked the housing offer.
Friday, the judge of the Superior Court, Jeffrey Fraser, rejected the request for the defendant’s request without a fixed residence, known as the transitional liberation.
We do not know why the housing supply was revoked.
Snavely, who was sentenced in 1987 for having attacked two young girls, was sentenced to the conditionally liberation in 2022 as part of the State program which allows people deemed sexually violent, or please, to be rejected from a civil commitment to permanent housing after having responded to certain criteria and the successful completion of a treatment program.
Those who are freed conditionally are monitored and continue to receive treatment.
But the location of permanent residences for SVPs has proven to be difficult because potential houses must comply with certain standards and internships are often welcomed by the community.
By locating Julian’s potential home for Snavely, noted Fraser, the organization of health care that administers the program carried out more than 4,000 research over two years.
An audience for Friday could have been finalizing the press release. Instead, after the revocation of the housing offer, the audience focused on the question of whether Snavely was to be released without permanent domicile.
SVP versions without fixed residence have been called transient versions because the SVP could go from one location approved to another if necessary. Tents and VR are also considered for people released in these circumstances.
In recent months, two other sexually violent predators, Alvin Quarles, nicknamed the rapist “more daring than most”, and Merle Wakefield have been released in the county of San Diego without permanent residences.
But Friday, Fraser denied the release of Snavely without permanent residence as representatives of Liberty Healthcare noted that another potential accommodation advance had been located.
An additional hearing was scheduled for May.
Fraser said that he did not think that the regular Snavely procedure was raped by the delay, despite his release for more than two years before, and that a transitional liberation was “not in his best interest”.
Before the hearing, the member of the Assembly Carl Demaio, a republican who represents the communities of the County of East, of which Julian, held a press conference before the courthouse highlighting a bill he presented in December which would block the release of SVPs in zoned areas for residential use.
Demaio had initially planned to “call upon Fraser to use the existing legal authority to block the placement of Snavelly on a temporary basis”.
