Serial Child Molester Lured Kids with Candy, Now CA’s Woke Parole Wants Out on the Street [WATCH]

A convicted child predator once described by a judge as “the monster parents fear the most” has been cleared for release under California’s elderly parole program, according to remarks by Emily Compagno detailing the case and the state’s review process.

“A convicted child predator that a judge once called the monster parents fear the most has now been cleared for release under California’s elderly parole program,” Compagno said. “He’s 64, years old.”

Compagno outlined the scope of the crimes that led to the inmate’s sentence.

“His horrific crimes include 16 counts of kidnapping and child molestation,” she said.

She added that the court imposed multiple life sentences in addition to extra prison time.

“He was sentenced to three straight terms of 25 years to life, plus 20 years,” Compagno said.

The case proceeded through California’s elderly parole process, which allows certain inmates over a specified age who have served a minimum portion of their sentence to be considered for release.

Compagno described how the state handled the parole decision and the subsequent review by the governor.

“On top of that, the state’s corrections and rehab Bureau detailing the process of his parole approval, telling Fox News digital this that on January 12, 2026 Governor Gavin Newsom referred the case back to the Board of Parole hearings for further review, meaning he didn’t agree with this conclusion,” Compagno said.

The referral sent the matter back to the Board of Parole Hearings for reconsideration. According to Compagno, the panel reviewed the case again during a meeting held the following month.

“Now, at that then February, board meeting, the panel reaffirmed the decision recommending that this monster receive parole,” she said.

Compagno also addressed the limits placed on the governor’s authority in non-homicide cases. While the governor may review certain parole decisions, state law restricts his ability to overturn the parole board’s determination when the conviction does not involve homicide.

“Now it’s important to note that the governor cannot overturn there in that state parole board hearing’s conclusion when it’s a non homicide case,” Compagno said.

She concluded by explaining the practical effect of that restriction.

“And that is why the governor cannot, at this point, overturn those Parole Board hearings rulings.”
