and we couldn t kill the weed. flores was able to identify his attacker, a man named kevin kinder. eventually kinder was convicted and incarcerated for attacking flores and three other boys. but cornett says that wasn t the end of their nightmare. kevin kinder got sentenced to 17 years. he only served six. he got released, and when he got released, i followed him everywhere he went. some mothers are going to fight for their kids until the day they die. my mother is the one that s going to fight until she dies. cornett not only tracked kinder but reported his activities to the authorities. it led to his arrest of being in possession of a stolen car and having pornography on his computer, a violation of his parole. this time he was sentenced to 60 years. kevin kinder taught me things about people, there are more sex offenders out there than him. cornett has started to advocate for sex abuse victims and started two non-profits. one to counsel victims and the
they had their backs to it. i turned around from the water fountain and walked up right next to him and i got off on him nice. i hit him in his jaw and he fell on the ground. i got on top of him. the officer grabbed me from behind. it was like an out of body experience. i stopped somebody in the hallway that i knew and i said can you please find out where jason s not in court, kevin s not in court. she come back out with a smile and a grin and she said that jason beat the [ bleep ] out of kevin kinder. all i remember telling him is remember me? remember me? remember me? he was laying on the ground. i don t think he really heard what i was saying. it felt good to say it. now i m wanting to say, yay, but how dare you, jason, do this? now you re going to get another charge and in trouble. i was in a panic. i didn t want to scuffle with him or grab him or wrestle with him. i wanted to break his jaw. i wanted to punish him. i think that jason probably needed that.
county might prove less traumatic than a prior stay when he was arrested several years earlier. that s when he came face to face with an inmate named kevin kinder. the same man who raped him when he was a young boy. it was actually in a holding area where everyone goes before they go to court. i seen the guy standing on the wall, and i handed my lawyer s folder to the guy next to me and i told him make sure i get this back. let s see where he s at. flores mother, judy cornett, who dedicated much of her life to keeping kinder in prison, knew both men were due in court that morning. one was in one courtroom at 9:00. the other one was 9:00. i was bouncing back and forth to the courtrooms and neither one of them was in the courtroom. sure enough he was talking to the officer. the deputy. they were standing next to each other having a conversation. i worked my way over to the water fountain which was three feet behind them.
it was devastating. it was extremely traumatic. because after this happened, it s like my innocence was gone. he dropped out of football. jason stopped playing baseball. jason didn t want to go to school. there was no more kisses good night. there was no more hugs. jason started sleeping with weapons in his room. he would sleep with baseball bats. his whole life changed. once someone found out about it, i cut them out of my life. i wouldn t want to associate with them anymore because i knew that they knew. flores says it wasn t long before he joined a gang and began using drugs. he paid for his habit by stealing cars and breaking into homes. it was like this demonic seed that was planted in my son s soul. and we couldn t kill the weed. flores was able to identify his attacker, a man named kevin kinder.
