Southern California officials ask governor to intervene in ‘unconscionable’ release of sex offender

Officials in Orange County, Calif., are calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom to intervene in the case of a “dangerous” sex offender who was released from a state mental hospital after more than 20 years when the hospital allowed his hold to expire on Saturday, reports said.

Cary Jay Smith, 59, of Costa Mesa, Calif. has been living in state hospitals since 1999 when his then-wife gave authorities a note he wrote about sexual acts he wanted to commit against a 7-year-old boy living in his neighborhood, the Orange County District Attorney’s office wrote in a press release.

After initially being kept on a 72-hour psychiatric hold and a series of civil trials it was decided he “demonstrated danger of inflicting substantial physical harm” to children.

Under his welfare hold for imminently dangerous persons, Smith is allowed a civil trial every 6 months to argue for his release. He has continually testified that he wants to rape and then murder boys to avoid being identified, the DA's office said.

“He claims that he has killed three boys and molested 200,” the DA’s release said. “He prefers to go by the name Mr. RTK, which stands for rape, torture, kill.”

On Saturday, Smith’s hold expired after the hospital failed to renew it.

“This sexual predator has repeatedly testified under oath that he will re-offend if he is released and we should believe him,” District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement.

The government needs to release prisoners to keep the virus going, and help with riots.

But if he stays in the hospital he could get the KungFlu and that would be dangerous.

( Liberal logic)

They’ll release violent criminals and then lock up someone for not wearing a mask.
