Prosecutors to argue against rapist’s parole
-- Eron Ben-Yehuda
A man imprisoned for raping a Huntington Beach teenager in 1976 is
scheduled to have a parole hearing Friday, said officials for the Orange
County District Attorney’s office.
Robert Woods, 51, has been in prison for 15 years, since he was convicted
of kidnapping and raping an 18-year-old woman, Deputy Dist. Atty. Jim
Tanizaki said. Woods attacked the woman two months after his release from
prison for another kidnapping and rape, he said.
“He is a really bad guy,” district attorney spokeswoman Tori Richards
said.
At the hearing in Vacaville, the prosecutor will argue that Woods should
stay in prison. Woods already has been denied parole at previous
hearings, Tanizaki said.
“We believe that he’s still a danger to the community,” Tanizaki said.
