Rancho Santa Margarita, CA -  The Orange County District Attorney (DA) Tony Rackauckas along with Senator Lou Correa, Tustin Police Chief Scott Jordan, and a representative from the Santa Ana Police Department held a press conference earlier today to warn the public that a violent, convicted sex offender, Lawrence Joseph Brown, 52, is scheduled to be released on parole in Orange County after serving 25 years of a 49-year sentence for brutally sexually assaulting two young girls after kidnapping them in broad daylight.

According to the the DA, the Department of Mental Health has failed to submit a Request to File a Petition to the Orange County District Attorney's Office (OCDA), making it legally impossible for the OCDA to file a Sexually Violent Predator petition to have Brown civilly committed.
