Child Molester Jumps to Death at Court House

Well HickTowners, I have a real tear jerker for you! Um….a child molester jumped to his death today in California. Does anyone need Kleenex?

A 52-year-old man jumped to his death from a courthouse balcony hours after being convicted of child molestation, authorities said.

Carlos Edward Tello was facing more than 20 years in prison when he jumped from a ninth-floor balcony of the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana Tuesday afternoon. A suicide note was tucked into his clothing, authorities said.

A jury in a Fullerton courtroom earlier Tuesday convicted Tello of repeatedly molesting a young girl between 1989 and 1994.

Deputy District Attorney Heather Brown tried to have Tello’s bail revoked and have him taken into custody immediately after the verdicts were announced. She said he was carrying a suicide note when he was arrested in 2006 in the case and that he might be in danger.

    Freakin coward! That poor child will still have to live with the memories and trauma of being abused by him and he couldn’t even man up to face his sentence.
