The probation report of sex offender John Gardner, who has been charged with the rape and murder of Chelsea King, was released and yesterday a new court hearing date was sent for Gardner: August 4, 2010.   The report details the incident that sent John Gardner to prison in 2000 for molesting a girl under the age of 13 and also details some of his personal history. The report states that he suffered from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, took a number of different medications throughout his childhood, and also speaks about his family upbringing. In the report, John Gardner never came clean and took responsibility for the brutal attack on his young victim and put the blame on the victim’s mother for injuries he caused.

John Gardner was released from prison in 2005 after serving five years of a six year sentence. Not only is Gardner charged with Chelsea King’s murder, but he has quickly become the sole focus of an investigation regarding the disappearance and murder of 14-year-old Escondido girl, Amber Dubois. Amber’s remains were found Saturday in Pala, California. Since John Gardner’s arrest, he has become the focus of additional cases as well.

With the horrifying revelation of Chelsea King’s murder, many ask why John Gardner wasn’t given the strictest sentence and why he never received any type of psychiatric treatment. Though many feel that with John Gardner’s history, he exhibits anti-social personality disorder and treatment would likely be unsuccessful, he never should have been let out of prison after serving only five years, especially with the level of violence demonstrated against his 2000 victim.
