Man accused of trying to kill sex offenders in Kissimmee
OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. —
Police said a man was locked up after he was accused of trying to kill sex offenders.
Officers said he tried to set the men on fire.
Jorge Porto-Sierra has been formally charged with four counts of attempted premeditated murder.
Osceola County detectives said the 50-year-old confessed to deputies he tried to kill multiple people at the Friendly Village Inn on Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway.
After his March 7 arrest, Porto-Sierra said he arrived at the motel to “barbecue all the child molesters on fire and kill them.”
WESH 2 News confirmed at least two of the four victims are convicted sexual offenders.
Witnesses told deputies Porto-Sierra made several threats, screaming, “I’m going to kill you, child molester,” and allegedly began throwing gasoline on their front door.
Porto-Sierra is accused of breaking a hotel window to pour gasoline inside.
Witnesses said he was carrying a cigarrette the whole time.
Another couple said Porto-Sierra rammed their car and poured gas on it.
When asked by deputies why he did not carry out his threats, Porto-Sierra said, “You got here too soon.”
Porto-Sierra remains behind bars at the Osceola County Jail.
He’s being held on no bond.

Good catch. FAC pls consider re-posting as an updated news item, in the interests of ‘getting the word out to all registrants and their families.’
An article about this guy appeared in my news feed today, but it was vague.
Department of Corrections search shows release date is in less than one year.

Since his attack was on random registrants, shouldn’t every registrant in the country be warned about his release…victims rights and all
