A serial harasser of women who was sentenced in 2023 to 5½ years in jail and prison for following, grabbing, groping and chasing his victims has apparently been released — and was seen approaching several women in San Francisco on Monday.
From about 2 to 3 p.m., a Chronicle reporter observed Bill Gene Hobbs, 37, approaching women in Dolores Park as well as areas of the Castro and Duboce Triangle — sliding up next to them on the grass or at cafe tables or crossing the street to talk to them. At other times, he sat on the street curb, yelling indecipherably.
It wasn’t immediately clear when Hobbs was released, or whether his behavior might violate the terms of his sentence, handed down after a jury trial in which at least a dozen women testified to being surprised, grabbed or groped by him while they were walking or running alone in the city.
*** Law enforcement agencies in San Francisco seemed to ignore Hobbs until the Chronicle began writing about him and how a host of women had come forward to file police reports about their encounters with him. Standing 6-foot-4 with buzzed hair, Hobbs sported distinctive tattoos, including the letters “E-V-I-L” written across his fingers.
In June 2023, Hobbs was sentenced to 2½ years in county jail for eight misdemeanors, as well as three years in state prison for felony false imprisonment for picking up and carrying a woman down the street as she walked her dog. Most people convicted of crimes in California serve 50% of their sentences behind bars.
Hobbs was also ordered to register as a sex offender for a minimum of 10 years. Hobbs was not listed as a sex offender on the state’s public Megan’s Law website as of Monday evening.
*** After sitting in Dolores Park, Hobbs walked down Church Street, eventually crossing Market Street and heading into Duboce Triangle, where he periodically sat down on the curb and yelled out.
Entering a cafe on Fillmore Street, Hobbs ordered a drink, then sat across from a woman at a small outside table. He spoke feverishly about drug addicts, people following other people and “culture” in San Francisco. Eventually, he got up and disappeared up Fillmore Street.
Before Hobbs’ trial in 2023, he faced six criminal cases in San Francisco dating back to 2017. Each one had been dismissed by judges.
If a female friend of mine was one of his victims, I would find out the judges home address and give it to Hobbs.
Well, shucks. All he has to do is move to Boston, Massachusetts. He will be a shoe-in as a Senator. The most famous Massachusetts Senator made a great career out of following, grabbing, groping and chasing women.
Ted Kennedy not only excelled at it, just ask all of the restaurant waitresses who "participated" in Kennedy's famous "waitress sandwiches."
of the Castro and Duboce Triangle — sliding up next to them on the grass or at cafe tables or crossing the street to talk to them. At other times, he sat on the street curb, yelling indecipherably.” I wasn’t aware that sliding up to someone was illegal, nor that yelling indecipherably was illegal. Creepy but legal . We will need a lot more jails if “talking to them” becomes illegal.
I remember.
Chris Dodd (Commie-CT) was his fellow reprobate, wingman, and the other half of his “waitress sandwiches”. I had to go to Wiki to refresh my memory and confirm Dodd.
Miss Carla Deviglio was one of the the only victims of their depravity to come forward, apparently. During the heat of the campaign, complaining about Dodd vetting Joe Bite-Me’s running mate and his sexual assault of Tara Reade; she still said she was voting Biden/Democrat.

I REALLY want to see the payouts from the House and Senate slush funds for SEXUAL ASSAULT!!!!
Our own government maintains secrecy over OUR TAX DOLLARS paid out for DECADES to settle their inability to not ASSAULT other people.
This should go on the MAGA agenda no matter who it burns - dead or alive.
Finally as American doing the job so illegals wont need to do it.
They have to keep him out in the street - he’s the only known straight guy in SF.
Re-arrested on a parole violation. Shocker.
Why is he hanging around the Castro, though?
