Long-Stifled Healing Process Triggered: Victim Kicks Snot Out Of Molester

A Tampa man will not be prosecuted for beating the pedophile who raped and choked him as a child.

In a bitter coincidence, Jason Flores, 23, was mistakenly placed in a cell with Kevin Kinder, a man who had raped and strangled him 13 years ago.

Flores will serve time for other crimes, including car theft and burglary.

An expert from the University of South Florida says Flores suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder and that his accidental encounter with Kinder triggered a long-stifled healing process.

Flores was 10 years old when he was brutally assaulted by Kinder.

Kinder pleaded guilty in 1992 to performing lewd acts on four boys, including Flores. He served six years of a 17-year sentence before being released, but was returned to prison when a judge ruled he had violated his probation.
