He had a large garage type building in the part of the back yard closest to the house. A customer said that the entire area was enclosed with a fence that was kept locked. When she went to pick up her orders he sometimes came out of the gate to deliver the orders.
She said the property ran from one street almost to another and Jaycee lived in the tent squalor behind the garage which wouldn't have been visible behind the fence.
Last night several panel members said, '20 years ago we didn't have the FYI on sex offenders and the lack of potential for rehabilitation that we do today', theorizing that is why a parole board voted to release him. He was also a suspect, perhaps even arrested, for an incident in 1972 involving a 14 yr old who was assaulted and given drugs/alcohol. The victim didn't want to testify in court so he was released and later went on to rape the woman in 1976 in Nevada. After serving 11 of his 50 yr sentence he was allowed to leave Nevada and move to Antioch, CA which seems to be an area where those with similar offenses are numerous.
In a psychiatric report done for the 1976 arrest he admitted to the examiner that he couldn't obtain sexual fulfillment unless violence was involved. Four of the parole board member that released him are dead and the 5th is in a nursing home.
The sheriff's department stated that one deputy is assigned to oversee over 350 sex offenders.
Nonetheless, this sort of heinous crime is inexcusable. Nancy Allred and her colleagues should look into this matter. I won't hold my breath, this young woman's privacy is the priority now.
How you go forward from something like this is beyond me. It sounds like her family is doing all that they can to help her transition into a more normal life.
It is doubtful that an insanity defense will work for him. If he had enough or a mind to operate the printing business and was able to impress people as simply 'eccentric', 'Creepy Phil', then I suppose he functioned within a normal range. That doesn't say much for those that knew him, jmo.
