Oct. 11 marked Andrew Luster’s release to California parole supervision after he completed a legally calculated term tied to a 2013 resentencing, ending roughly two decades in prison.
A judge had thrown out his original 124-year sentence because the trial court improperly stacked consecutive terms without required findings, then imposed a 50-year term while leaving intact his 86 felony convictions.
CDCR said the release was not discretionary early parole: Luster received 977 days of pre-sentence credit and could earn additional time off through conduct, work and prison programs.
Ventura County prosecutors said they fought to preserve the 124-year sentence and opposed parole in 2024 and 2025, but acknowledged the 2013 resentencing meant his maximum confinement date arrived in October 2026.
Luster, convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting three women, must register as a sex offender for life, remain on parole for three years and avoid contact with his victims as local officials in Glendora raise safety concerns.
