Victim opposes parole approval for serial child predator

A California parole board has approved the release of 64-year-old David Allen Funston, a convicted serial child predator serving time for kidnappings and child molestation. His victim, Amelia, expressed outrage, fearing for her safety and that of others, and rejected his apology. The decision has drawn criticism from victims, law enforcement, and California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has called for a re-examination of the case. Funston’s attorney stated there is no precedent for reviewing the board’s decision.
