The San Diego Superior Court has ordered the conditional release of Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) Douglas Badger.  If you live in the community of Borrego Springs, the California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) has recommended the placement of Douglas Badger at 1619 Zuni Trail, Borrego Springs, CA.  

Douglas Badger (10-24-42) is diagnosed with Sexual Sadism Disorder. Between 1959 and 1991 he was convicted of several offenses including child molestation, kidnapping, and forcible oral copulation in concert. These crimes occurred in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and most recently, San Diego counties. His victims were predominately male strangers, many of them hitchhikers. He served five separate prison terms and three parole violations in between 1975 and 1991.

THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!

-The house is across the street from a house on Zuni Trail that has 3 children, 2 of whom have disabilities; one door down from the house on Zuni Trail has another child; there are over 25 grandchildren that visit regularly on Zuni Trail within 1/4 mile of the proposed placement.

-Children are home -schooled within ¼ mile of the proposed placement;

-Borrego Springs is a dark-sky community with no streetlights or sidewalks- not the place for a sexually violent predator and career criminal.

-There is limited law enforcement in Borrego Springs and long response times.  Police are not present in the town between the hours of 6am and 6pm


-SVP Badger has health issues and the Borrego Clinic has limited service and no medical doctor assigned and no psychological services;


-Extreme heat and power outages can be deadly to an elderly man who must remain on the property;


-There is lack of cell phone coverage can make it impossible for SVP Badger or anyone that falls victim to Badger to call for medical assistance or emergency help.

-Many many more reasons!

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION BY JULY 22 SO WE CAN SEND THIS TO JUDGE WEATHERS FOR THE HEARING SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 05, 2022.  

WHEN SIGNING THE PETITION, PLEASE INDICATE IF YOU ARE A FULL-TIME, PART-TIME, OR VISITOR TO BORREGO SPRINGS, 92004

Thank you-
