Julian is being threatened by a reckless and dangerous proposal to place a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) in our community. This is unacceptable and must be stopped.
Gary Snavely is a convicted predator and repeat offender who has already proven to be a danger to society. He was convicted of molesting two little girls, ages 8 and 9, in 1987. After serving his sentence, he failed to register as a sex offender in 1996 and was later sent back to Coalinga State Hospital for violating supervision terms, abusing medication, and lying to authorities. He has shown zero regard for the law.
The proposed home for Snavely is less than a mile from a church frequently used for homeschooling and summer camp activities and just over a mile from a K-8 school. Julian is a family-friendly destination that attracts thousands of visitors every year, many of them children. The idea of placing a known child predator in this community is beyond irresponsible—it’s dangerous!
I wrote a letter to Judge Fraser strongly opposing this placement.
But this fight needs all of us.
