STATEMENT 2/13/2014
Todays announcement that the state plans to house yet another sexually violent predator in East County draws fire from Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Dianne Jacob: Enough is enough. This is the third time in recent months that the state has moved to dump a sexually violent predator in East County. This latest predator, Terry Stone, is a diagnosed pedophile who carried out lewd and lascivious acts against children. The state is now proposing to put him in our community, close to Steele Canyon High School. Thats outrageous. No community in any part of San Diego County would stand for that. As Ive said before, if these vile men must be housed somewhere, the only sensible spot is outside the gates of Donovan State Prison, where other sexually violent predators have been placed.
