‘Bolder than Most’ serial attacker released into community despite opposition from victims

A serial rapist, nicknamed “Bolder than Most” for his brash approach, has been released from prison and gone into an outpatient program, despite opposition from his surviving victims. 

Alvin Ray Quarles broke into homes and motel rooms in California between 1987 and 1988 and would often force husbands and boyfriends to watch as he sexually assaulted their partners, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. In several cases, he ordered terrified couples to carry out sex acts as he watched, threatening to rape the female party and doing so when the man could not perform under duress. 

Quarles, now 62, was sentenced to 50 years in state prison after pleading guilty to four counts of forcible rape in 1989. Authorities believe he assaulted more than a dozen women during that period, documents show. 

After serving 25 years in state prison, according to NBC San Diego, Quarles spent a decade undergoing a sex offender treatment program at Coalinga State Hospital.

“They told me I wouldn’t have to worry about him in my lifetime, and you put your faith in that, and for the last 10 years I’ve been trying to keep him from getting out,” Medina said. “As his survivor, it doesn’t make me feel very good at all but I kind of have to accept it because of the way the laws are.” 

“It’s inevitable, but he got an extra 10 years because of us, so do I feel safe? No,” she continued.
