Sacramento Officials Oppose Early Release of Convicted Child Predator Under Elder Parole Program

Sacramento officials challenge release of Vogelsang, a convicted child molester with a 355-year sentence, citing high reoffense risk under California's elderly parole law.

  • The Sacramento County district attorney and sheriff asked the Board of Parole Hearings to re-review Gregory Vogelsang's parole decision, with a hearing scheduled for March 18.
  • Under state law, elderly parole eligibility applies when inmates are 50 and have served 20 consecutive years, based on the California elderly parole law enacted in 2017 and modified in 2020.
  • Prosecutors note Gregory Vogelsang molested at least six boys aged 5–11, received a 355 years to life sentence, and had an above-average risk assessment for reoffending.
  • Prosecutors urge the public to submit opposition comments and call 916-267-0857, emphasizing victims' protection at the hearing at 1515 K Street, Suite 550.
  • After a similar parole last month, officials renewed calls for reform as the Nov. 4, 2025 parole grant and arrest in Placer County raise victim privacy and legislative concerns.
