Ohio to Pay $17.5M to Convicted Child Sex Offender After Prison Guards Boasted About Paralyzing Him

FAC Contributor #3 15 Comments min read

“It feels good to know that I played a small part in paralyzing a cho, LMAO.”

A convicted child sex offender in Ohio is to receive $17.5 million in compensation after prison guards left him paralyzed — and boasted about it afterwards.

21-year-old Seth XXXXXX was left in a wheelchair and unable to move from the chest down after he was tackled and dropped multiple times while handcuffed.

After handcuffing him and escorting him to the medical clinic, the guards claimed he tried to pull away from them en route; when Corrections Officer Christopher Coy failed to leg sweep him, he tackled Fletcher to the ground.

Fletcher told them his neck hurt and he couldn’t move his legs, so they picked him up, face down, and carried him the rest of the way. The nurse deemed he was okay and sent him back to the segregation unit.

Still handcuffed and face down, the guards carried him by his arms and legs, dropping him a number of times on his face on the way back, before leaving him on a bed in a suicide watch cell, his arms hanging limply over the side. Cameras along the route were reportedly inoperable that day.

The acting captain checked on him around 2:30 AM and was told by Fletcher he couldn’t move, but no action was taken. It wasn’t until a psychologist visited his cell shortly before 10 AM that medical help was summoned. He was taken to Ohio State Wexner Medical Center to undergo emergency spinal surgery; but Fletcher had been left quadriplegic.

As part of his federal civil rights lawsuit against the prison security and nursing staff, Fletcher’s legal team cited text messages and Facebook posts sent by one of the guards, Garrett Osbon.

“the dude I broke his nose is now paralyzed with a broken neck, and they say his face looks like he had been dropped and dragged through concrete, LMAO” he wrote. “It feels good to know that I played a small part in paralyzing a cho, LMAO.”

“we also water boarded him LMAO”, he also wrote, and “I broke a dudes nose today, yeah this was not reported, there was way too much blood so I mopped it up.”

“Cho,” or “cho mo”, is prison slang for child molester.

    I want to know what Seth Fletcher did?

    The guards response was to strip search him over something trivial and look for an opportunity to brutalise him but if you look at all the articles, they say that he made a consentual sexual video with his girlfriend who was 16 or 15 and then the video was seen by a 3rd party. This led to a sentence of 2 years and he was 18 at the time he did the crime.

    This is a horrible thing to do but its not the same level of crime as someone who is age 30+ abusing someone who is 10 years old.

    Its basically 2 deviant teenagers who are inexperienced and very selfish making a complete balls up and turning on each other. I dont think that warrents being waterboarded and tortured by random sets of strangers (big strong muscly men) over a period of 2 years. It certainly doesnt warrant dragging the person around and throwing them on the ground face first so they break their nose.

    This guy was doing what so many guys do. Leaking a privately made consentual video. It is disgusting but if everyone who did this was thrown on their head into a lifelong paraplegia probably 10% of the male population would be requiring lifelong care
