They make Jeffrey Epstein look like Mother Teresa.
Even while Epstein drama is consuming the country, David Allen Funston is being set loose.
Funston became notorious for luring children as young as four years old in Sacramento into his car with candy and dolls then raping them. A little girl had a knife held to her throat while he raped her so badly she bled. One 5-year-old girl was raped, beaten and left by the side of the road. He raped a little boy and kidnapped two sisters, 4 and 5, before he was finally stopped.
Funston was known as “the monster parents fear the most” and was sentenced to three life terms in prison in 1999. But in 2020, even as he was having surfers arrested and small business owners shut down, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 3234 into law which took the state’s already generous ‘elder parole law’ and redefined ‘elder’ as being any criminal over the age of fifty.
Now, Funston, who was convicted of 16 counts of kidnapping and child molestation, is being granted ‘elder parole’ under Newsom’s law to the horror of the children he once abused.
California’s original ‘elder parole’, passed by state Democrats and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, had jettisoned life sentences for criminals over sixty. Newsom’s expanded addition lowered the age to fifty and effectively eliminated life sentences for most criminals.
Including the child rapists now potentially headed for the exits.
Other child rapists who benefited from Newsom’s free pass for pedophiles included Israel Ceja, a Mexican convicted in 2000 of over 20 counts of forcible rape for crimes that began when his victim was 11-years-old and included attempted murder and other assaults to induce a miscarriage, who qualified for parole despite a sentence of 139 years in prison.
Michael Dausey, who raped his 14-year-old niece at knifepoint, and had previously raped a minor in Oregon, has also qualified for parole.
Cody Woodsen Klemp, who was sentenced to 170 years in prison after raping at least 5 women and girls, after charges that included 20 counts of committing a lewd and lascivious act on a child, 10 counts of rape, and 10 counts of forced oral copulation on a child, was deemed by the parole board to be at ‘low risk for violence’ and was set for release. The decision was only overturned after major protests by victims, one of whom warned, “He will absolutely rape again. He has been committing rapes since he was eighteen years old. The only time he did not rape was when he was in prison.” --->READ MORE HERE
Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper erupted in anger this week after it was confirmed that convicted serial child molester David Allen Funston, once described in court as “the monster parents fear most,” has been approved for parole under California’s controversial Elderly Parole Program.
Funston, 64, was convicted in 1999 of kidnapping and molesting young children in Sacramento County in the mid-1990s.
A judge at sentencing labeled him a threat to society, and he received three consecutive 25-to-life terms, plus additional time, effectively a life sentence, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
But under California’s elderly parole law, which allows inmates over age 50 who have served at least 20 years to be considered for release, Funston was deemed “suitable for parole.”
According to KTLA:
Funston was eligible for a parole suitability hearing under the Elderly Parole Program because he was not on death row nor was he sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Depending on an inmate’s sentence, their first Elderly Parole Program hearing is scheduled after they have been incarcerated at least 20 continuous years and reached the age of 50. Inmates are also eligible for the Elderly Parole Program if they were incarcerated for 25 continuous years and reached the age of 60.
Funston, as of 2026, is 64 years old and has served 27 years in prison, thus qualifying him for the latter category, as he does not have a sentence that makes him ineligible for the chance to be paroled.
During a press conference, Sheriff Cooper blasted the parole board and Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration for allowing such a predator to be reconsidered for release under a program that is sick and broken. --->READ MORE HERE
