OCDA UPDATES ON LAWRENCE BROWN PAROLE REVOCATION AND PENDING SEXUALLY
VIOLENT PREDATOR PETITION
SANTA ANA – Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas released the following statement today, Dec. 22, 2010:
“I want to thank the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and Secretary Matthew Cate for their hard work in the case involving convicted sex offender Lawrence Brown. Brown’s parole was revoked today by CDCR, which gives the Orange County District Attorney the ability to file a petition to have brown declared a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP). He was sentenced to 90 days in prison as a result of his parole-violation arrest on Nov. 17, 2010. The Orange County District Attorney’s Office will be filing a petition within the statutory time. A jury will be able to see Brown’s full history and decide whether he is a SVP who poses a danger to the community. Brown is a convicted repeat child rapist who should never be allowed to walk the streets and hurt innocent victims.”
