A convicted child rapist and illegal immigrant who was released from jail despite three life sentences was captured hundreds of miles away nearly a week after being freed.
Tony Maycon Munoz-Mendez, 31, was convicted of rape and aggravated child molestation and began serving a life sentence in April 2015, according to jail records. But he was released from Rogers State Prison in Reidsville “in error” at around noon on Oct. 25, the Georgia Department of Corrections said in a statement.
