SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A sexually violent predator previously rejected for conditional release to a home in the Mount Helix neighborhood has been proposed for placement into a supervised residence in Borrego Springs, it was announced Wednesday.
Merle Wade Wakefield, 64, has been recommended by the California Department of State Hospitals for placement at 1575 Yaqui Road.
Wakefield, who was convicted of sexual assaults dating back to the 1980s, 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, SVPs may undergo treatment at state hospitals, but may also petition courts to continue treatment in supervised outpatient locations.
