SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – A judge has ruled that a 78-year-old sexually violent predator recommended for supervised release at a residence in the Mount Helix neighborhood will not be placed at the home.
In a written ruling dated Wednesday and released by court officials on Thursday, San Diego Superior Court Judge Theodore Weathers said the home at 10957 Horizon Hills Drive would not be a suitable placement for Douglas Badger and state hospital officials will be tasked with finding another location to house him.
The ruling came nearly two weeks after another local judge, San Diego Superior Court Judge Albert Harutunian III, denied placement of a second sexually violent predator, Merle Wade Wakefield, at the same home.
