granted elderly parole to the convicted child molester<\/a> who was sentenced to more than 350 years in prison for sexually abusing children in Citrus Heights.<\/p>\nThe Sacramento County Sheriff\u2019s Office says 57-year-old Vogelsang had previously been convicted of molesting several young boys and was classified as a sexually violent predator.<\/p>\n
Investigators say that between 1995 and 1997, Vogelsang molested at least six boys between the ages of 5 and 11.<\/p>\n
California’s Elderly Parole Program allows inmates aged 50 or older who have served at least 20 years of continuous incarceration to receive a special parole suitability hearing.<\/p>\n
Tangipa said the case raises broader concerns about who is eligible for early release. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf someone like Vogelsang was even eligible for release, imagine how many more cases are coming behind him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Tangipa credited public pressure for the decision, thanking people who attended a rally earlier this week. <\/p>\n
\u201cI want to personally thank every single person who showed up to our rally and made their voice heard earlier this week,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
This victory happened because people like you refused to stay silent.<\/p>\n
Tangipa urged continued pressure on Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state\u2019s parole system. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s exactly why we need to keep up the pressure on Gavin Newsom and his radical Parole Board,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a Republican elected official in California, as long as Democrats have a Supermajority, they will not listen to us unless we have grassroots supporters in the media, online, and at our rallies pressuring them to change course,\u201d Tangipa said.<\/p>\n
Tangipa said he wants changes to the parole board. <\/p>\n
We can not rest until Newsom has fired or removed his corrupt and radical Parole Board Members who are approving the early release of these serial child predators and rapist!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif.
