Stop California’s Secret Release of Sexually Violent Predators



California has found a new and dangerous loophole to circumvent public outrage over the placement of Sexually Violent Predators (SVPs). Instead of assigning them to a specific neighborhoods and community—where residents can organize and fight back—the state is now using “transient releases” to secretly place these predators in undisclosed locations across San Diego County.


That’s exactly what happened on last week with Alvin Quarles, the “Bolder-Than-Most” rapist. Without warning, Quarles was dumped into Borrego Springs, and by the time we found out, it was too late.


This secretive and reckless policy is a direct threat to public safety and a betrayal of public trust. Our communities deserve to know when and where SVPs are being placed—not to be blindsided by backroom decisions that put dangerous criminals in our neighborhoods without notice.


Enough is enough. The State Legislature must close this loophole immediately. Public safety must come first.


I am calling for full transparency and accountability in SVP placements. Communities have the right to be informed and have a say in decisions that affect their safety.


Here’s how you can help:


  • Raise your voice: Demand that your state representatives take action to close this loophole.

  • Stay informed: We will continue to expose these reckless policies and fight for transparency.

  • Share this message: The more people who know what’s happening, the stronger our fight.


I refuse to let Sacramento gamble with our safety. We must stop this now.
