Lavaca County authorities on Friday identified the 47-year-old man who was caught molesting a girl and then beaten to death by the child's father.
Jesus Mora Flores was killed on the afternoon of June 9 on a rural farm pasture on County Road 302 between Shiner and Yoakum.
In a press release issued Friday, authorities said Flores was attempting to sexually assault the girl, whose age was corrected by officials Friday to be 5 years old.
"When emergency medical personnel arrived, Jesus Mora Flores' pants and underwear were down and the man's genitals were exposed," said Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon, who was quoted in a press released issued by District Attorney Heather McMinn.
Flores had been hired by the child's father to care for horses on the property, according to a neighbor.
A public records search shows no permanent address for Flores in Lavaca County.
The press release also confirms that law enforcement officials discovered a witness to the attacks, but does not identify that person.
Investigators found that "a witness observed Jesus Mora Flores forcibly carrying a 5-year-old child off to a secluded area, the witness ran for help and alerted the child's father."
The father then heard the child's scream and ran to help her, the release said. The father then "immediately removed Jesus Mora Flores from on top of his child" and inflicted "several blows" to the man's head and neck area.
The release stated that all of the physical evidence and witness statements in the case corroborated the father's statement.
Harmon said Flores was not in the United States illegally and possessed a permanent resident card - more widely known as a green card.
The sheriff said his office has been working with Mexican Consulate officials to locate Flores' family.
Complete results of the autopsy conducted in Travis County are not expected for several weeks.
Harmon said the girl's family and father have cooperated with authorities.
McMinn said in the press release that Harmon "made the right decision in not arresting the father at the time of the incident."
The girl's father remains remorseful about Flores' death, said Harmon, who said he expects a grand jury to hear the case next week.
"This case has been very traumatizing on the child, her father and his entire family," he said.
And castrate child molesters with blowtorches so it does not happen again.
The fact we have a term “repeat sex offender” speaks volumes about where we are as a nation.

Removing the lower sexual organs does no good, we would still get repeats. The primary erogenous organ needs to be removed or incapacitated, the brain.
As the father of a daughter and two grand daughters, I can assure you that I would not stop to consider the law if ever put in a similar situation.
As a licensed carrier, my response would be swift and no less lethal! And final! There will be no recidivism!
Hopefully it is more like “Indictment? You ain’t gettin’ no indictments! Now dismiss us so we can buy him some beers!”
yeah I am personally on the dad’s side. Still going through this has to be hard on people.
Actually, you are correct. If he had shot and killed the scum and then pulled him off his daughter, he would not be at risk of indictment.
And people wonder why I love Texas...
Here’s the outcome:
Texas Won’t Prosecute Father Who Beat His 5-Year-Old Daughter’s Molester To Death
