Andrew Luster, the great-grandson of cosmetics mogul Max Factor, was released from state prison earlier this month and is reportedly residing in Glendora, California.
Mayor David Fredendall condemned the release in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, calling it unacceptable that a convicted serial rapist is now reportedly living in the community.
Originally sentenced to 124 years, he is free after 20. Luster was convicted in 2003 of 86 felony counts stemming from the drugging and sexual assault of three women at his beachfront home in Ventura County. Prosecutors said he used the drug GHB to render the women unconscious before sexually assaulting them.
Luster fled to Mexico in January 2003 while free on $1 million bail during his trial. He was convicted in his absence and later captured by celebrity bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
His release has renewed criticism of California's criminal justice system, particularly Proposition 57, a voter-approved measure passed in 2016 that expanded parole consideration for certain offenders.

A convicted killer escaped from a Tennessee prison! Concerning, since murderers on the run tend to do whatever they can to stay out of prison!

Serial killer Ted Bundy is linked to another Utah teenager’s 1974 killing through DNA testing
DNA connects serial killer Ted Bundy to the death of another Utah teenager, authorities announced Tuesday, exactly 52 years after her body was discovered in the woods by a hunter.Bundy has been dead since 1989, but the tally of his confirmed victims continues to grow due to advances in DNA testing. He killed at least 30 women and girls in multiple states in the 1970s, and many more escaped or survived with injuries.
Investigators are satisfied that Bundy was responsible for killing 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith in 1974, a death that had long been listed as a cold case, Summit County Attorney Margaret Olson said at a news conference.
They were able to close the case by making crucial connections with DNA found on Smith and Laura Aime, another Bundy victim whose case was resolved last April in Utah County. Bundy’s DNA was on file in Florida, where he was convicted and ultimately executed.
