Thousands of convicted pedophiles in California, including those guilty of “the worst child sex crimes,” were released from prison after spending less than a year behind bars, according to a new analysis.

Citing the California Megan’s Law database, the Daily Mail found that over “7,000 sex offenders were convicted of ‘lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age’ but were let out of prison the same year they were incarcerated.”

“Others who committed some of the worst child sex crimes on the statute books served similarly short sentences, 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,’” the analysis found.

Former Los Angeles sex crimes prosecutor Samuel Dordulian told the Daily Mail that he was “shocked” by the data and said they were “frightening for society.”
