A MONTEREY COUNTY MAN, WHO HAS ADMITTED TO MOLESTING MORE THAN 50 CHILDREN, COULD SOON BE FREED FROM STATE SUPERVISION….UNCONDITIONALLY. 51 YEAR-OLD JAMES LAMB, WHO SPENT NEARLY 20 YEARS IN THE STATE’S SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATOR’S PROGRAM HAS BEEN LIVING ON RIVER ROAD FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS NOW. ALTHOUGH MONTEREY COUNTY SHERIFF’S COMMANDER MIKE RICHARDS SAID HIS OFFICE HASN’T HAD ANY PROBLEMS CONCERNING LAMB FOR AT LEAST A YEAR, A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH (WHICH CONTRACTED LIBERTY HEALTHCARE TO MONITOR LAMB) BELIEVES LAMB SHOULD CONTINUE WITH THE STATE’S CONDITIONAL RELEASE PROGRAM FOR SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATORS. A JUDGE IS SLATED TO DECIDE NEXT WEEK IF LAMB STILL MEETS THE CRITERIA OF A SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATOR.
Lamb has indicated in past hearings (through his lawyer) that he ultimately plans to move to Arizona to live with his mother.
