Disgraced middle school teacher who repeatedly raped 15-year-old girl is killed in prison by convicted murderer

A middle school gym teacher who described himself as a “pig” before being jailed for repeatedly raping a 15-year-old girl was killed by another inmate in his North Carolina cell Sunday.

Ernest Nichols, 60, was convicted in 2011 and sentenced to 15 years behind bars for statutory rape. He was originally arrested on a staggering 27 charges, including a laundry list of sex offenses, WRAL reported.

Nichols was found dead in his cell at the Greene Correctional Institution in Maury, NC, around 6:50 a.m., sending the prison into a lockdown.

By Tuesday, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office served a murder warrant to fellow inmate Wilbert Baldwin, who is already serving a sentence for second-degree murder, the outlet reported.

Nichols worked at Ranson Middle School in Charlotte for 14 years, but was swiftly suspended without pay and banned from the grounds when administrators learned of the accusations, WBTV previously reported.

The “killer” was cutting it pretty close. Another year or so in the joint and this guy would have been back on the street

I’m conflicted. On one hand child rapists should get death penalties. On the other I am not happy the sentence was carried out by a murderous felon who did it for the jollies.

I think about the same blind eye being turned if a convict had decided to kill a J6 political prisoner.

The fact that he was still in so far into his sentence suggests he was a disciplinary problem.

“Disgraced middle school teacher who repeatedly raped 15-year-old girl is killed in prison by convicted murderer”

and just a few months before his sentence was complete, exactly like in those old prison movies ...

Rape should be a capital crime. In this case it was another convict giving justice.

I wonder if it would be inappropriate to mail the guy a Thx package. Y’know, some cigs, chocolate, etc.
