## Summary

Andrew Luster, a Max Factor heir convicted of raping women, has been released from prison after serving about 20 years and is living in Glendora, east of Los Angeles. His release has angered residents and the city’s mayor, while court-ordered restrictions bar him for life from Ventura County and limit his proximity to victims’ homes.

Luster was convicted in 2003 on 86 counts after fleeing to Mexico; the article says he had been accused of drugging and raping three women and filming the attacks. His original 124-year sentence was reduced to 50 years in 2013, and a 2016 California rule change classifying him as a non-violent offender led to his early release. He is on parole for three years, must wear an ankle monitor and is listed on the state sex-offender registry.
