He abused 9 children during a church retreat, was sentenced to life in prison, and 8 years later another inmate took justice into his own hands and stabbed him in the chest, killing him

César Pastrana was 33 years old and serving a life sentence.

The Mexican man had been convicted of sexually abusing nine minors. He died after an assault at Hancock State Prison in Georgia, United States, where he was incarcerated. His case was marked by two events: the conviction for the abuse and a death within the prison system.

A spokesperson for the Georgia Department of Corrections confirmed the death and said authorities were investigating the case as a homicide. Thus, the case that led to his imprisonment was accompanied by another investigation: the one seeking to determine what happened in the assault that preceded his death.
