California sheriff opposes sex predator housing near Girl Scout camp
A California sheriff is opposing a plan to house convicted rapist Michael Thomas Cheek near a Girl Scout camp and schools in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Officials are considering transferring the 74-year-old, who was convicted of raping at gunpoint and classified as a sexually violent predator, from a psychiatric facility to a rental property valued over $800,000. The sheriff expressed concerns about public safety, monitoring challenges due to poor cell connectivity, and the community’s safety given Cheek’s history. A court hearing on the housing proposal is scheduled for October 30.
