The Santa Maria Sun reports Paso Robles’ state Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian (R-San Luis Obispo) and Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley and are teaming up again—this time in an attempt to change state law that allows sexually violent predators to be released into communities as transients.

On March 26, the District Attorney’s Office announced in a press release that the California Supreme Court denied Dudley’s second petition to review, “therefore condoning the release of Tibor Karsai into Santa Barbara County as a ‘transient.’”

Karsai was found guilty of rape in Santa Barbara County in 1974, and of kidnapping and raping a 16-year-old girl in Placer County in 1980. He was designated as a sexually violent predator and was scheduled for release from a mental hospital on April 16.
