Judge David Gill to visit Borrego Springs properties designated for SVP placement after hearing concerns from residents who say the properties were not vetted properly.
BORREGO SPRINGS – Elected officials and residents of a rural desert community where state hospital officials have proposed housing a man classified as a sexually violent predator urged a San Diego judge Friday against authorizing his release into their community.
According to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, Martinez was convicted in four separate cases between 1979 and 2004 for offenses that occurred in San Diego and Los Angeles counties and has been diagnosed with pedophilia and personality disorders. The crimes for which he was convicted include child molestation, annoying/molesting a child, lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under 14 and annoying a child under 18, according to the DA’s office.
County Supervisor Jim Desmond said that for a number of reasons, Borrego Springs would not be conducive for Martinez’s successful treatment, including its remote distance from medical services and law enforcement, as well as frequent power outages, which he said could affect the GPS monitoring that will be used to track Martinez.
