He got out after 15.5 years because of several possible reasons:

1. Prison Overcrowding - got to let the ones that are in prisons out so we can make space for the newly sentenced even if their crimes are LESSER than the ones that are already in Prison: BS!!

2. He served 15.5 years out of 35 years and 245 days which is more than 1/3 of his sentence;

3. He was probably a MODEL prisoner in Prison and he earned early release points.

for any crime not considered Capital like Murder; an inmate can be paroled after serving only 1/3 or more of their sentence which is a bunch of legal BS to me!!

From my experience as a Police Officer; pedophiles will never be "cured" of their sickness and I can guarantee you this guy will be back in Prison for the same crime and if that happens, I feel sorry (not for your Sister in Law) but for whichever poor innocent girl(s) that will be his victim(s).

Would like like me to you know.... take him out for a Friendly drink?
