The California state Board of Parole will release a serial child rapist with 140 years left on his sentence using a program allowing the early release of older inmates, despite objections fromhis victim and those who prosecuted him.
Cody Woodsen Klemp, now 67, had previous convictions for rape and attempted rape before his niece was placed in his care in 1990, per reporting by FOX 11.
Four years later, he was convicted on 40 felonies stemming from his repeated rape of the then-14-year-old, including 20 counts of committing a lewd and lascivious act on a child, 10 counts of rape and 10 counts of forced oral copulation on a child.
Jurors heard evidence that Klemp made numerous threats to kill his victims for reporting the abuse, per The Press Enterprise - but the child managed to escape and disclose the abuse to her therapist.
On November 8, just 29 years into Klemp's 170-year prison sentence, the state parole board announced his impending release some time before or on March 15, 2024.
The body, made up of 21 commissioners appointed by the Governor and approved by the state senate, justified their decision with his "low risk for violence," his advanced age and his "marketable skills."
"It was because of him that I learned to cut. It was because of him that I hate me," Klemp's victim, now 48, told the board. "It was because of him that the only prayer I had was a prayer not to wake up. I always believed that somehow I did something to deserve it."
"Unlike Cody, for me, for his victims, there is no parole board," she continued. "We don't get to ask or request release from our mental prisons."

I thought this was a biden homecoming story for a minute.
They say they are wired that way. Good. We just found a beneficial use for those EV super chargers. Wire him up to one till fully charged.
My feelings exactly. As long as he keeps his distance; fine. But if he approaches within six feet of her; she should make a collander out of him.
really?! that explains alot.
Agreed. I have a solution to that problem. It’s called the death penalty. It only costs about fifty cents, it’s called a .45 ACP round to the head. Problem solved.
Not a thread to LOL on, but he's been incarcerated for 29 years and is 67 years old. Marketable skills? Other than raping children, what?!
That is the solution to the problem, right there.
The judges, lawyers, parole boards, etc. who are letting these incurable animals loose, need to serve the sentence for any further crimes committed, up to, and including the death penalty.
That would put an end to the entire problem
Obviously, the boyz and gurlz in their black robes aren’t going to do anything to keep the animal off the streets. They’re too busy trying to lynch President Trump.
Sorry, not good enough. Apparently, life in prison means the perps are out in 3 years.
EXACTLY WHAT MARKETABLE SKILLS FROM A MAN THAT AGE WHO HAS BEEN IN PRISON THAT LONG????????
Thanks, guys. Some kind of accountability has to be part of the system.
Not long ago there was a thread about the Code of Hammurabi. In the code there was a law that proscribed that judges who made a mistaken ruling would be out of a job for life. One mistake and you’re done.
Not as harsh as my suggestion but a good deal tougher than what exists here today.
