Kevin Scott Gray has a criminal history of sex crimes against children going back to 1974. That included molesting up to 50 children and exposing himself to girls younger than 11 more than 1,000 times.
"I'm afraid for my granddaughter that lives right there, you know, just around the corner. I'm afraid for the kids that are right there, the neighbor, their houses that are right there," resident Tony Peterson said.
In December, Attorney General Rob Bonta, on behalf of the California Department of State Hospitals took that ruling to the state Supreme Court.
"Our pleas have been ignored by our state. The reasoning for the overturn was that there were too many home schools in California, and placements for these [sexually violent predators] would be difficult. Understandably, this would be difficult, but the fact that our children should come first should be the priority."
Senator Marie Alvarado Gil (R-Jackson) shared with CBS13:
It doesn't matter that he's 72 years old—his age does not erase his past or guarantee the safety of our community. This decision places families and children at risk, and retraumatizes victims of sexual assault.
I fought to stop his release before and I remain firmly opposed to it today—along with the release of any sexually violent predators into our neighborhoods. I will stand with law enforcement, local leaders, and residents to fight this reckless decision. The safety and well-being of our communities must always come first."
