Overview
- The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation says Andrew Luster was released to parole supervision on Oct. 11, 2026 after serving his recalculated term.
- Luster was convicted in 2003 on 86 felony counts for drugging and sexually assaulting three unconscious women and jurors saw videotapes he recorded of the attacks.
- His original 124-year sentence was vacated and reduced to 50 years in 2013, and CDCR says he received 977 days of pre‑sentence credit plus additional in‑custody credits that shortened his time behind bars.
- Local leaders and prosecutors have publicly denounced the release, three victims formally opposed parole at hearings, and California’s Megan’s Law database lists Luster as living in Glendora.
- The case has renewed demands for transparency about parole conditions and prompted calls to change how sentencing credits apply to drug‑facilitated sexual assaults, with recent legislative fixes coming too late to affect Luster’s release.
