Convicted Child Molester Beaten To Death During First Week In Prison
by HollyMatkinA convicted child molester was beaten to death only six days after he arrived at Wasco State Prison.
Wasco, CA – A convicted child molester only lasted six days in prison before he was beaten to death by another inmate.
Agustin Duran, 66, entered the Wasco State Prison on July 2, after being sentenced in Los Angeles County to 55 years in prison with the possibility of parole for the offense of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a news release.
On July 7, Duran was in a prison dayroom at approximately 7:20 p.m., when another inmate, 19-year-old Andres Ayon, attacked him by hitting him in the torso and face with his fists.
Prison officials sounded an alarm and all of the inmates dropped to the ground, with the exception of Ayon, who continued to viciously beat the convicted sex offender.
Prison staff deployed a “pepper spray grenade” to break up the attack, at which point Ayon laid down in a “prone position,” according to the news release.
He was handcuffed and escorted to a temporary holding cell, while corrections officers rushed Duran out of the dayroom on a gurney.
Duran was transported to a local hospital by air ambulance, where he succumbed to his injuries at 4:48 p.m. on July 8.
Ayon was treated at the prison for minor injuries and has been placed into segregation while the incident was being investigated.
The news release said that Ayon entered the Wasco State Prison on June 22, after being sentenced to six years for use of a deadly weapon and second-degree robbery in Kern County.
Wasco State Prison’s primary function is to classify and evaluate new inmates for the most appropriate long-term placement in other penal facilities, the news release read.
The facility employs about 1,500 people and houses approximately 4,900 inmates.

Jul 24, 2018 Less trouble on God-fearing Americans descended of our Black&Celt Founders and those who join to Our Holy Nation as true Patriots - God's no pedo no homo "righteous remnant of the House of Israel," cousins by Sheba as foretold - if we simply "excised" the satanic ruling false-elite faction treasonously attacking our anointed POTUS: the Christ-killing, incesting, child-sodomizing Beast of Gog&Babylon creating all LGBTQ/pedos long attacking us per Ezekiel 38:11 we founded the Bible's actual prophesied "Zion" to escape...they who are yet to hang for killing JFK&MLK to make us papal catspaw in Rome's Vietnam slave plantation six weeks after JFK ordered us out with 120 dead.

Jul 16, 2018 Would also be interesting if NH.Corr worked at the prison in this story and the victim's family's lawyer took NH.Corr's deposition. Ka-ching!

Jul 16, 2018 It would be interesting if the prison got sued and put that explanation in its legal brief.

Jul 16, 2018 There are ways prisons are supposed to be run, then there are ways prisons are really run. They are not usually not the same thing. Why? Human nature. When you put a chomo in with a drug dealer who hates pedophiles and has the opportunity to act on that hatred, they generally will. It builds cred inside. Prisons are one of the most corrupt places on earth, and the US has some of the "best." Google "Black Dolphin" on Youtube and you'll see a lot worse. If you think the people running the prison will pay up, you're naive. No one cares about pedophiles. They have all the procedures and policies in place, and even when they're followed to the letter, this still happens. If the guy didn't want to end up dead he wouldn't have molested children.

Jul 16, 2018 @ColoradoLEO: if that is what the people running the prison thought then they will probably have to pay up. What you say is not consistent with the way prisons are supposed to be run in this country.

Jul 16, 2018 You abuse kids and general population finds out, that's all the "reason" they need. Good riddance.

Jul 15, 2018 Get real. the 66 year old child molester had to say or do something to set off the 19-year-old Andres Ayon. Wanna bet he said or did something to imply he was going to sexually harm the 19-year-old Andres Ayon? Plausible reason for the 19 year old YOUNG man to go ballistic and beat the child predator in prison! Not like the now dead child molester had access to other young kids. Makes sense to me! On the bright side, tax payers won't be footing the bill for the child molester for years and now the dead child predator victims have TRUE JUSTICE served! High five to likely his next intended target victim 19-year-old Andres Ayon for not being a victim, even prison! I would pardon r-old Andres Ayon for not being a victim, even prison! Give 19 year old Andres Ayon a PARDON!

Jul 15, 2018 I get your argument. Some attacks in prison will always happen, so you argue that prisons have no duty to protect and can never breach a duty to protect. Not a good argument, and I shouldn't have to explain why.
