Early release planned for Nipomo child pornographer

December 19, 2025

Gregory Kornman

By KAREN VELIE

A Nipomo man who was sentenced to prison for possessing and distributing sadistic child pornography is eligible for parole in March 2027, just two years into his eight year sentence.

Gregory Kornman, a Satan-worshiping man who wrote of plans to torture and kill a young boy, pleaded guilty in October to two felony counts of possession of child pornography, 19 felony counts of possession and distribution of child porn, one misdemeanor count of engaging in lewd conduct and four special enhancements.

A San Luis Obispo County sheriff’s deputy spotted 54-year-old Kornman masturbating in his car while watching child porn on March 13. Following Kornman’s arrest, deputies found thousands of images and videos of child pornography on his phone and computer.

In private chats and in his notes, Kornman repeatedly praised Satan and discussed his plan to kidnap and torture a young boy. He had purchased two cages a child would not be able to open from the inside.

Kornman previously worked at an elementary school in the Santa Maria-Bonita School District teaching students in kindergarten through 8th grade.

He is currently serving time at the California Institution for Men in Chino.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation lists Kornman’s parole eligibility date as March 2027.

This is a rant and a half. We’ll see how well victim notification works via CDCR to SLO District Attorney versus how it worked for the couple murdered in September who were not properly notified in timely manner & had already been victimized in 2017 by this criminally (insane) individual: calcoastnews.com/2025/09/arroyo-grande-murder-suspect-obsessed-over-killing-his-victims/ who the slo superior court allowed diversion for based on law in 2014

Voting matters. Accountability matters.


The system has swung so far towards actual tools towards rehabilitation that those criminals who are unable to change are using the same tools to their advantage against you and me: their madness against innocent victims. What has happened to victim rights?


These criminals are giving chance after chance while our local kids have their programs cut. Our children are being left behind while Gregory Kornman uses his California state issue touch screen tablet, gets better healthcare than we do in a more timely manner than we do and has it more safe being inside CIM state prison.

Take a loook at what’s available versus what our children are getting in our schools /www.cdcr.ca.gov/rehabilitation/programs/inprison/mapip/ they’re better off going to prison! And no, ain’t nothing gonna happen in prison to these cruel individuals. Y’all watch too many Hollywood and true crime shows. As taxpayers you should be asking what a day in the life of a state of ca inmate at the prison in your own backyard is like rather than protesting at the slo sheriffs office versus crickets about your future workforce: school district cuts $5 million over objections from parents, kids on December 17, 2025

Pay special attention to the table showing what’s available to inmates on their state issued tablet https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/family-resources/tablets/

Previous post I made:

Has everything 2 do with entities such as prison law office https://prisonlaw.com/ attorneys getting rich being what it has evolved into which includes but ain’t limited to: codified laws, sentencing imposed by judge, whomever appointed the judge, whomever voted for that person…voting matters. State of California incarcerated (felons) are referred to as patients these days. Child molesters, rapists, murderers have it better at the local prison colony than our children. San Luis coastal superintendent cutting five million while locally enabled adult such as this Greg Norman potentially victimizing those same Children using his state of California issued touch screen tablet. Again, we are seeing the San Luis coastal school board under superintendent cutting $5 million. It will trickle down. what you won’t see is incarcerated felons not having access to better healthcare than your average Joe or Jill. State of California inmates get faster, higher quality access to healthcare including gender, reassignment surgeries, (turning a birth-penis into a manufactured-vagina on taxpayers dollar in a state of California prison that includes going to dermatologists office for laser facial hair removal and hormones. It includes breast augmentation. incarcerated felon who really should be a mental health patient at Atascadero state or another state hospital. Instead, local kids rot on their cellphones due to lack of funding, having cuts to band programs, music appreciation programs that were built up under the hey-day of Diablo. The devils in the details (& in this case, inmate CC2677).


Well that’s just swell. Hopefully someone takes care of him in prison before he gets out


Wow … Perhaps he would be a good legislative assistant
