Child Molester william ayres Moves Prisons

Conditions at Deuel as of Aug 2013

PRISON UPDATE: Child molester william hamilton ayres has recently been moved to a new prison location: Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy, California. (According to the California inmate locator service.)

Deuel is listed as housing for general population, and houses level 1 and level 3 prisoners. Level 1 is "dorms" with no perimeter. Level 3 is fairly high security, fenced perimeter, armed guards, etc...

Deuel also operates a dairy facility with ~1400 head of cattle. Lovely smell in the heat of the day!

It is said that processing a new prisoner takes some number of weeks, as they look at criminal record, health, social history, etc before they determine the prisoner's permanent (usually) location. Deuel is one of the several Reception facilities in California. So it is possible that processing was completed at San Quentin, and this is his ultimate location, and it's also possible that he is at Deuel to be processed.Given the length of time since sentencing, I'd guess that he's still being processed, but that's really just a stab in the dark.

COURT UPDATE: As of today, September 11, 2013 there are no scheduled hearings (public hearings)  for appeals or restitution, or anything else. I usually post the date last checked on our "ayres' Court Dates" tab on top of the page.




william hamilton ayres was arrested on April 5, 2007 on charges relating to his molestation of many young boys while he was alleging to provide psychiatric care to private patients as well as referrals for evaluation from the juvenile court system in San Mateo County. After years of  playing demented for the courts, ayres plead "No Contest" and was found guilty of all charges against him on May 16, 2013. ayres was sentenced to 8 years in prison on August 26, 2013. ayres is currently under the conservatorship of his daughter Barbara Ayres of Sacramento, CA. 

ayres has had significant interaction over the years with local politicians on boards like the "Children and Families First Commission,"  including the DA who was serving when prosecution began Jim Fox and Assemblyman Rich Gordon. In fact, Gordon nominated ayres for a lifetime achievement award for his "Tireless effort to improve the lives of children." ayres has also been vocally supported during his criminal trial by local head-shrinkers like Bart Blinder, Etta Bryant, Mel Blaustein, Harry Coren, Tom Ciesla, Robert Kimmich, Larry Lurie, Maria Lymberis, Richard Shadoan, Captane Thomson, and Harold Wallach.

Victoria Balfour Radio Interview Sept 2, 2013

On September 2, 2013,  Award winning journalist and victims' advocate/activist Victoria Balfour was a guest on the Larry Elder radio show out of KABC in Los Angeles, California. The guest hosts for the Labor Day show were Leo Terrell and Robin Sax.

Robin Sax actually has some prior experience with the Ayres case, as she wrote an article in the Huffington Post about Balfour being barred from access to the courtroom in the first criminal trial. For her efforts, DA Wagstaffe contacted Prosecutor Sax's boss to try to get her disciplined for speaking out about the matter.

Here is an audio clip of the interview, It's approximately 10 minutes long.
