Andrew Luster, the great-grandson of Max Factor, has been released from prison after serving approximately 20 years of an original 124-year sentence. Luster was convicted in 2003 on 86 felony counts involving the rape of women rendered unconscious by GHB. His release followed legal reductions to his sentence and the application of Proposition 57, a rule allowing non-violent offenders to serve half of their sentences.

Luster is currently residing in Glendora, California, under strict parole conditions. These include three years of parole supervision, the mandatory use of a GPS ankle monitor, a lifetime ban from Ventura County, and a prohibition from coming within 35 miles of his victims’ residences.

His release has drawn significant criticism from local officials, including Glendora Mayor David Fredendall, who expressed outrage regarding community safety and state laws that allow early release for certain felony convictions.
