State hospital officials have proposed placing a man designated as a sexually violent predator into a supervised home in Jacumba Hot Springs, the same home recently recommended for housing a different SVP.
Albert Carder has been recommended by the California Department of State Hospitals for placement at a home located at 45612 Old Highway 80.
Two weeks ago, it was announced that another sexually violent predator, David Munoz, was recommended for release to that same address.
Sexually violent predators is the designation used for those convicted of sexually violent offenses and diagnosed with a mental disorder that makes a person likely to re-offend.
After serving their prison sentences, SVPs undergo treatment at state hospitals, but may also petition courts to continue treatment in outpatient locations, where they are monitored via GPS, among other measures.
Law enforcement officials say Carder was convicted in the 1980s of lewd and lascivious acts with a child and kidnapping.
Munoz was convicted of molesting a 12-year-old girl and a 2-year-old girl sometime between 1988 and 1992, and attempted to assault three other victims, according to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office.
A judge is set to rule next month whether it is suitable to place the men at the Old Highway 80 home.
Munoz’s hearing is set for May 3, while Carder’s is set for May 17, with both hearings to be presided over by San Diego Superior Court Judge David Gill.
Members of the public are typically allowed to make comments to the court at these hearings regarding the suitability of the placement.
In Carder’s case, public comments may also be submitted until April 30 to the SAFE Task Force, a regional law enforcement team that monitors and enforces sex offender registration laws in the county.
Comments can be submitted via email to sdsafe@sdsheriff.org; by calling 858-583-7238; or by mailing a statement to SVP Release/SAFE Task Force, 9425 Chesapeake Drive, San Diego, CA, 92123.
Public comments for Munoz’s housing may be submitted until this Thursday to the same entities.
