California allows ‘elderly prisoners’ out if they are 50
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s parole board has just granted parole to yet another vile, violent child sexual predator from Sacramento, courtesy of Newsom’s elderly parole law.
According to former Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, Gregory Vogelsang, 57, kidnapped, lured and molested five young children, one as young as 3 years old.
Vogelsang was sentenced to 355 years to life for sexually assaulting children. A jury convicted him of 23 counts of forcible lewd acts on young boys, Schubert reports.
Last month, Gavin Newsom was facing calls to resign his office because his elderly parole program tried to dump another violent convicted child abuser into the community – allowing David Funston, a serial child rapist to be released from prison, the Globe reported.
Newsom appointed or reappointed all of the members of the California Parole Board.
California allows “elderly prisoners” out if they are 50, and have served at least 20 years of their sentence to be considered for parole, and considered no longer a threat. This “law” was a gut-and-amend bill passed in 2020 entirely on party lines without a hearing or notice to the public.
As we noted, there are 2,790 registered sex offender pedophiles living very near the State Capitol in downtown Sacramento according to MegansLaw.ca.gov. In 2022, there were 201 registered sex offender pedophiles living very near the State Capitol. Newsom’s sex-offender early release program has let out thousands of convicted pedophiles.
How did this even happen? What precipitated these evil bills?
Proposition 47 (2014) downgraded many felonies to misdemeanors. Proposition 57 was passed in 2016 enabled early-release of “non-violent” crimes, and sex offenses were reclassified under Prop 57. Assembly Bill 109, Gov. Jerry Brown’s signature 2011 “prison realignment” scheme, shifted detainees from state prisons to local jails, overwhelming county jails.
Proposition 57 reduced prison sentences and reclassified violent crimes as “non-violent.” These new laws eroded the Three Strikes law, and have been a disaster for public safety, taking away the tools courts need to rehabilitate drug offenders, opening the door for rampant retail theft, and reclassifying violent crimes and sex crimes as “non-violent.”
And remember, State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who is now running for Congress, authored SB 145, which Gov. Newsom signed into law, to protect Sex Offenders who have homosexual sex with minors.
The Globe will update this article as more information becomes available.

UPDATE: CDCR’s Press Secretary, Terri Hardy contacted the Globe with this:
“The Board of Parole Hearings made a preliminary decision on November 4, 2025, regarding this case. The case was then referred to the Governor for review, and upon his review, the Governor referred the case to the larger Board of Parole Hearings for additional review. The Board will make its final decision on March 18.”

They should simply execute them all.
Newsome must really believe his presidency is assured for 2028.
The pedophile vote is a significant factor in California politics.
There would be a lot more popular support for that than there is for this. Progressives like Newscum don't want to spend money on prisons and prisoners, they want the money to go towards leftwing causes and non-profits so they get money back in kickbacks and graft. Prisoners can't give them any kickbacks.
Indeed. It’s insane. 57 is “elderly”?
It’s not like he’s some 96-year-old bedridden bank robber or embezzler who can’t even walk to the potty, let alone into a bank. In such case, maybe it’s cheaper and easier on the prison staff and taxpayers to let his family care for him in his last weeks or months.
But a 57-year-old child molester is still plenty capable of harming more children. Who are these sickos who want to turn him loose on society?
..... He’s 57 ..... That’s hardly elderly .......
Surprising that he is not serving on the parole board.
