Summary

Gregory Freeman was denied parole on July 24; board members said the crime's severity and his substance-use history required more time and treatment.

Gregory Freeman (DOC 534920) appeared before the Louisiana Committee on Parole on July 24 and was denied parole after board members cited the severity of his offense, the need for additional programming and ongoing alcohol issues.

Freeman, who was convicted after pleading to a molestation charge involving a child, told the board he had been incarcerated since 2008, had completed the Seaview (?) program and worked as a trustee. The Franklin Parish captain who hosted the hearing said he had only met Freeman that day and could not provide an extended behavioral history; Freeman said he had asked for but not always been offered substance-abuse programming and said he would attend AA if provided.

Board members emphasized the long-term effect on victims when offenders are family or trusted adults and recommended more classes and substance-abuse treatment. The panel voted unanimously to deny parole and recommended transfer to a facility that offers substance-abuse programming if needed.

Outcome: Denied (unanimous).
