San Francisco 'serial stalker' who targeted women is convicted, DA says

A serial stalker who assaulted several women in San Francisco was convicted, prosecutors said. Bill Gene Hobbs faces up to eight years in prison for touching women and running off.

A serial stalker accused of groping women in San Francisco last year was convicted of multiple crimes, authorities said Wednesday. 

Bill Gene Hobbs, 34, would approach victims and make unwanted advances, prosecutors said. He would touch them and then flee, authorities said. 

A jury convicted him on charges of false imprisonment, sexual battery, battery and assault.

"The jury’s verdict delivers justice for all of the women that were victimized by Mr. Hobbs," said San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. "He will now face consequences for his unacceptable behavior, and brazen harassment of women throughout San Francisco."
