Convicted serial rapist and Max Factor cosmetics heir Andrew Luster has been released from prison after serving roughly 20 years of an original 124-year sentence. Luster was convicted in 2003 on 86 felony counts for using the date-rape drug GHB to render three women unconscious and assault them.

The 62-year-old Luster is now under state parole supervision, living with his mother in Glendora, California. His  early release  was expedited due to prison credits for good behavior and state policies under Proposition 57.   His release has sparked severe outrage among local authorities and residents in the Los Angeles area.
