SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Elected officials and residents weighed in Tuesday on the proposed placement of a convicted sex offender in a supervised home in the Mount Helix neighborhood.
Comments from the public were shared during a San Diego Superior Court hearing regarding a proposal from the Department of State Hospitals to place Douglas Badger, 78, in a home at 10957 Horizon Hills Drive.
Badger, who is currently housed at Coalinga State Hospital, is classified as a sexually violent predator, a designation for those convicted of sexually violent offenses and diagnosed with a mental disorder that makes them likely to re-offend. After serving their prison sentences, sexually violent predators may undergo treatment at state hospitals, but may also petition courts to continue treatment in supervised outpatient locations.
