Alta residents continue pushback as court reconsiders sexually violent predator placement ...Middle East

News by : (CBS sacramento) -

The Placer County District Attorney's Office says unspecified "potential legal issues" are forcing the court to take another look at the location chosen for William Stephenson, a convicted sexually violent predator whose crimes date back to the 1980s.

Many families in the area homeschool their children, and neighbors say at least one nearby home is registered with the state as a private school, something they believe should factor into placement decisions.

In response to the proposed placement, neighbors have even come together to create a community park on private property near the site. The group is now working to get the park officially permitted by the county.

Those concerns are now being echoed at the state level.

"Having homeschool protections as well as daycare center protections will help protect our kids in any future placements," said Assemblymember Heather Hadwick.

"That's frightening too, that anybody even screaming might not have a chance because we're so far from each other," said resident Tamara Cole.

Placer County District Attorney Morgan Gire says the process is complicated and often contentious.

Despite the delay, residents say they're not backing down.

A court hearing is scheduled for February 13, where the district attorney's office says it will listen to evidence related to the proposed location. No final decision is expected at that time.

Until one is made, residents say they will continue to raise their voices.
