Rackauckas said he found out about an arrest warrant being prepared by federal authorities just as he was set to hold a news conference to alert residents that England was to be released after serving a little more than three years behind bars.<\/p>\n
"This man spent a lifetime using young girls for his own perverse sexual gratification and never showing any remorse for the emotional and psychological damage he left his victims to carry," Rackauckas said in a statement.<\/p>\n
He added that he was "sickened" that his office had been denied any legal recourse by a judge to "keep this child molester locked up away from children."<\/p>\n
England was sentenced in September 2006 to three years to life in prison. <\/p>\n
Rackauckas did not say what federal charges England will face. Judy Orihuela, a spokeswoman for the FBI in\u00a0 Miami, said Thursday evening that she could not comment because charges had not been filed.<\/p>\n
England served in the Army in Vietnam from 1963 to 1966 and returned to that country to work as a civilian contractor. In 1972, he came back to the U.S. with a 5-year-old Vietnamese girl who had been living in an orphanage.<\/p>\n
Authorities said England used the girl to lure the three other Costa Mesa girls, ages 8 to 10, into his motor home, where he molested them. <\/p>\n
Prosecutors alleged that England also sexually assaulted the Vietnamese girl for 11 years, causing her to become pregnant several times and have abortions. <\/p>\n
She also gave birth to a child who was turned over for adoption, according to prosecutors. England was not charged in connection with those alleged assaults because he had persuaded the girl not to testify against him, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
