SOUTHBURY, Conn. -- Residents of a Southbury neighborhood gathered Wednesday evening to fight the release of a convicted rapist from prison.

Neighbors said they do not want David Pollitt, a convicted rapist, to move in with his sister, who also lives in the neighborhood.

Pollitt, 54, formerly of Clinton, has served more than 24 years in prison for sexual assaults on women in Old Lyme, Waterford, Killingworth, Rocky Hill and Wallingford. Police also suspected him of rapes in other towns in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Dozens of parents asked numerous questions of a representative from the Probation Department at an outdoor meeting Wednesday.

The representative said that the Probation Office will take precautionary measures, like making Pollitt wear a GPS monitoring bracelet and requiring him to undergo sex-offender treatment. He will also be ordered not to go near anyone under the age of 16.

Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Ray Daudani reported that residents spent more than an hour questioning the representative, but none seemed to receive the answers they wanted.

A meeting on the topic is scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m. at Pomperaug High School.

Pollitt is scheduled to be released from prison on Friday. He will serve five years of probation.
