A Child Rapist Was Somehow Accidentally Released from Prison in Georgia
Source: Vice
Law enforcement officials in Georgia are searching far and wide for a convicted child rapist after he was accidentally released from prison Friday.
The inmate at-large, Tony Maycon Munoz-Mendez, was serving a life sentence at Rogers State Prison in Reidsville for repeatedly molesting and raping a 10-year-old girl, the daughter of his then-girlfriend, according to WXIA, a local NBC affiliate. He was convicted on rape and child molestation charges in 2015. But somehow — and prison officials haven’t said how — he was “released in error” from the prison Friday morning.
“All resources are being utilized to ensure the rapid apprehension of Munoz-Mendez, including the Georgia Department of Corrections Fugitive Unit and U.S. Marshals,” the state’s Department of Corrections said in a statement Monday.
The Gwinnett County prosecutor who oversaw Munoz-Mendez’s conviction, John Warr, told WXIA he was horrified by the prison’s mistake. The inmate was less than five years into his life sentence, and nobody notified him or the victim, now a teenager, of his escape.
