Bland first answered for doing harm to others in 1958 when he was convicted of felony assault in Los Angeles for stabbing a man in the stomach. He was given no prison time and instead was granted five years probation. That was his first incident. Second, in 1960 he was convicted of rape and kidnapping in a series of sexual assaults on women in Los Angeles County. He was sent to a state hospital, and after seven years of treatment he was back on the streets of Los Angeles. Less than a year later another series of sexual attacks occurred. A school teacher was raped at knife point. A 31-year-old woman was awakened when a man's gloved hand reached through her bedroom window and covered her mouth. She was dragged out the window, into the backyard and raped. Bland was convicted of rape, kidnapping and burglary for the two crimes. He served seven years and was paroled. Then he struck again. The victims were an 11-year-old girl and her mother who were accosted while walking down the street of a Los Angeles suburb. Both were molested; the girl was tortured. Bland pleaded guilty to kidnapping and assault with intent to commit rape and he was sentenced to an indeterminate term in state prison. He served three years and then was paroled back into the community.
The crimes continued and Bland was back in jail within eight months, this time convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old Torrance boy. The boy had been tortured with wire, clothes pins, pliers and vice grips. Bland pleaded guilty and was sentenced to nine years. After serving less than five of the nine years, he was paroled in January 1986. Subsequent to his release, he was implicated in three additional crimes. All were sexual assaults. All ended in the murder of the victim ...
