A man who allegedly beat children with a paddle and forced them to do sexual acts with each other has been bashed in jail, appearing in court with a black eye.
The Texas man, Michael George Corey, Jr, has been in jail for three-and-a-half years after being charged with 45 counts of sex crimes against a boy and two girls, aged 8, 10 and 11.
He was arrested in 2018 and remains before the courts, according to Wichita Falls station KFDX.
His matter was featured on the local news in America and Corey was reportedly beaten by fellow inmates after they saw the details of the alleged horrific acts.
Wichita County Sheriff David Duke said there was video of the assault and in that time Corey was struck by three inmates more than 15 times.
