her face with a claw hammer and strangling her. In June 1979, Alcala raped and murdered 33- year-ofd Charlotte Lamb by beating her and strangling her with shoe laces. In June 1979, Alcala raped and murdered Jill Parenteau by strangling her with a cord. On June 20, 1979, Alcala kidnapped 12-year-old Robin Samsoe from Huntington Beach, murdered her, and dumped her body in the San Gabriel Mountains_ Although her body was badly decomposed, her remains showed that Alcala had knocked out her front teeth. Her earring was later found in his victim "souvenir" trove in his storage locker. He was sentenced to the death penalty in Orange County for the California murders in 2010_ New York charged Alcala with the two murders in January 2011, and he is awaiting trial. Alcala not only had both adult and child victims, he moved back and forth between the victims' age groups. PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS WHO USE THEIR CHILDREN TO GAIN ACCESS TO VICTIMS Some people argue that some sex offenders are parents and grandparents with children who want to go to parks, thus they should have access to parks. Most sex offenders are parents and/or grandparents. In many instances, they use their children to gain access to other children to molest. George England was convicted for using his adopted 7-year-old daughter Jackie Zudis (she has agreed to be named publicly) to molest three girls ages 9 to 1 O. England drilled a hole in the wall from his bedroom into the bathroom in order to watch them and take nude photos of the young girls, whom he repeatedly molested, as they bathed. Although Zudis was sexually assaulted by England far more than a decade in some of the most egregious ways, including being made to have sex with the defendant's dog, she most regrets being the instrument to the other girls' sexual assault by England. A grandfather named Octavio Cortez was convicted for molesting three girls, ages four to seven, including putting his hands down one of the Jane Doe's pants and touching her vagina while she was playing with "Barbies" with the defendant's granddaughter. Patricia Anne Serrano, 43, Fountain Valley is awaiting trial on charges she molested and engaged in substantial sexual contact with her son's 12-year-old friend. Kathie Maria Davis, 44, Laguna Niguel is also awaiting trial engaging in lewd acts and substantial sexual conduct on a 13-year-old boy and engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a 16-yearld-old boy. Both victims were friends of her son on his hockey team. INDECENT EXPOSURE Some defendants are required to register because they are convicted of indecent exposure. Our Court of Appeal, 4"' District, recently upheld the sex offender registration requirement for indecent exposure in People v. Dona/d Honan (2010) 186 Cal. App. 4th 175. The Court held that a person who exposes his private parts with the intent "to direct public attention to his genitals" is necessarily engaged in a purposeful and aggressive sexual display designed to provoke others. Although violators of this section are misdemeanants, their conduct is one that should be prohibited from parks. In many cases, these registrants engage in 314 (indecent exposure) in view of children in parks and park restrooms where children regularly gather. In other cases, many defendants who have Penal Code 314 (indecent exposure) convictions are also child molesters. It makes little sense not to include this class of registrants when deciding who to ban from parks in creating safety zones. 11 50A-27
