Shocking investigation found that thousands of convicted child molesters in California are being let out of prison after just a few months.
According to the Daily Mail Online, California Megan’s Law database shows that more than 7,000 sex offenders were let out of prison the same year they were incarcerated, despite sentencing guidelines.
Holy shit.

More than 7,000 convicted pedophiles in California have been released from prison in less than a year for "horrific acts, including rape, sodomy and sexual abuse of kids under 14."

Others who committed some of the most heinous child sex crimes ever recorded received sentences that were similarly brief, including 365 pedophiles convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child who spent less than 12 months in prison, 39 cases of sodomy with a child under 16, and three cases of kidnapping a child under 14 “with intent to commit lewd or lascivious acts.”
Former Los Angeles sex crimes prosecutor Samuel Dordulian said that he was “shocked” by the statistics and described them as “frightening for society.”
“Statistics clearly show that pedophiles don’t get reformed. They’re going to come out and they’re going to commit again,” Dordulian said. “Letting these people out early, we’re allowing for a lot more victimization. And that’s terrifying.”
One offender in the database is 48-year-old Carlos Alexander Nahue, who was convicted of “continuous sexual abuse of a child” in 2015.
His Los Angeles court records say he was charged in October 2014 and pleaded no contest to the crime in January 2015, but was sentenced to just two days in an LA County jail and five years of probation.
Since then, Nahue has been living in a nearby daycare and elementary school in Reseda, according to the Megan’s Law database.
The database adds that the average pedophile only served two years and 10 months in prison, which Dordulian said was “surprisingly very low.”
“In my days [in the LA DA’s office], we made every effort to get as long of a prison sentence as we could, because we knew that the minute they’re going to come out, they’re more likely to reoffend and another child’s gonna get harmed,” he said. “With [California Gov. Gavin Newsom], they’ve passed a lot of legislation where they are allowing for resentencing, they’re allowing for people to come back and there’s a push to have less time spent in prison.”
