An inmate who was mistakenly put in a jail cell with a man who had raped and choked him as a child will not be prosecuted for beating the molester.
Jason Flores, 23, will still will have to serve more than two years in prison for other crimes, including car theft and burglary. But prosecutors said Monday they have dropped a battery charge.
Flores was arrested for a string of crimes in October and found himself at the Orient Road Jail, face to face with Kevin Kinder. Flores attacked him.
Three mental health experts testified on Flores' behalf at his sentencing, saying the counseling he received after being raped was inadequate.
An expert from the University of South Florida said that Flores suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder and that his accidental encounter with Kinder upset him.
"At age 10, Jason was brutally raped, strangled and left for dead in a field," said Rick Escobar, Flores' attorney. "You can't have greater trauma, in my opinion. He had been frozen in time all these years."
Kinder pleaded guilty in 1992 to performing lewd acts on four boys, including Flores, and served six years behind bars. He had been returned to prison for violating his probation.
GOOD!!! Now put that guy in a room with the guy he carjacked and robbed and justice will have come full circle.
It doesn't say how badly he beat him. I hope it was a massive, permanent-damage ass kicking.
Ah, yes. Sweet poetic justice.
< *Wink, wink* >
Hey, I'm not going to question that coincidence, no siree! If it were me, I would've "mistakenly" given Flores a baseball bat, too.
A lot of people don't think God has a sense of humor but He truly does.
I read an earlier report from right after the fight. It noted that the molester had teeth knocked out and was left unconscious. =)
WTF, this guy got out in a mere 6 years for that?!
Im glad to hear he got his A whipped, if he had killed him I wouldnt complain.

More justice for a molester in January:
Child molester found dead in prison ( http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/01/14/molester.death.ap/ )
What's the old saying, what goes around comes around.
we should encourage these types of mistakes in our justice system.
That He does. And so do these jailers. :-)
And the rapist is caught but lives to turn up in a jail cell with him years later? After having served a grand total of six years for that crime and others?
It's satisfying to see a victim take an opportunity to get his own justice, but it really shouldn't have come to this. We should have the courage to execute child sex offenders, no matter what the liberal a$$holes say. If enough of them get killed outside of prison, maybe the bleeding hearts will allow us to put them away for life.
Who wants to be the rapist will be enriched by suing the prison system for putting him in a cell with someone likely to attack him?
