‘Bolder than Most’ serial killer released despite opposition from victims
AND a serial rapistwho was nicknamed “Bolder than most” for his brash approach, was released from prison and entered an outpatient program, despite opposition from his surviving victims.
Alvin Ray Quarles broke into homes and motel rooms in California between 1987 and 1988 and would often force husbands and boyfriends to watch sexually assaulted their partners, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. In several cases, he ordered terrified couples to perform sexual acts while he watched, threatening to rape the female party when the man was unable to do so under duress.
Quarles, now 62, was sentenced to 50 years in state prison after pleading guilty to four counts of involuntary rape in 1989. Authorities believe he assaulted more than a dozen women during that period, the documents show.
After serving 25 years in state prison, according to NBC San DiegoQuarles spent a decade undergoing a sex offender treatment program at Coalinga State Hospital.
on Tuesday, San Diego Sheriff’s Office announced that Quarles would be released under a parole program for sexually violent predators diagnosed with a mental disorder that makes them likely to reoffend.
Quarles has been diagnosed with sexual sadistic disorder, voyeuristic disorder and antisocial personality disorder, NBC reported.
The 62-year-old, who will register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, will be under round-the-clock supervision at the Liberty Healthcare facility in Camp, the department wrote, adding that the district attorney’s office and the SAFE task force were “not responsible for the selection of this location. “
Conditions of his release include 24/7 GPS monitoring and on-site police or security guards, NBC San Diego reported.
“This notice is not intended to cause fear; on the contrary, we believe that an informed community is a safer community. The use of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass the subject or any other person will not be tolerated and may result in criminal prosecution,” the Ministry wrote.
Mary Taylor, one of Quarles’ victims, told NBC that the criminal was “a very dangerous person.”
If he gets a chance, he will take it, she said. Her husband, Stephen Taylor, added that “despite how old he is now, I think there’s still potential for him to commit [more crimes].”

“I’m really concerned about the members of the community who may be at risk,” he said.
Taylor’s friend and member of Your Voice Has Power, Terri Larson, told NBC that Quarles is a “monster” and said “the public should know what led officials at the state hospital to recommend his release.”
Cynthia Medina, who was attacked after she and her boyfriend woke up to find Quarles in their hotel room with a large knife, said her assailant unleashed “rage[ed]” and “scar[ed]” her. “It doesn’t make you feel safe, that’s for sure,” she said earlier Fox 5 San Diego.
After informing the terrified couple that he was a “lunatic,” Quarles ordered them to perform various sexual acts in which he joined in over the course of several hours, court documents state. At some point during the ordeal, he allegedly threw a $100 bill on the bed and told them, “This is for show.”

When Medina threw the money back at him, he allegedly replied, “I’m not afraid to hurt you — I’m mentally ill. I’ve done it before,” according to the documents.
“They told me I wouldn’t have to take care of him for the rest of my life, and you believe that, and I’ve spent the last 10 years trying to keep him from getting out,” Medina said. “As his survivor, I don’t feel good at all, but I kind of have to accept it because of the laws as they are.”
“It’s inevitable, but he got an extra 10 years because of us, so do I feel safe? No,” she continued.
