A dangerous child sex offender known as "Mr. Rape, Torture, Kill," who has been locked up in a mental hospital for the last 20 years, has been freed by California state officials.
59-year-old Cary Jay Smith, aka "Mr. RTK," was released this month from the Coalinga State Hospital where he has been held in state custody since 1999.
Smith was originally placed in state custody after his wife discovered her husband’s plans to sexually abuse a seven-year-old boy in their Costa Mesa neighborhood.
She reportedly provided evidence of his intentions to the authorities.
During hearings every six years, Smith has insisted on being referred to by the name “Mr. RTK,” which stands for “Mr. Rape, Torture, Kill.”
He claims to have murdered three boys and sexually abused 200 others and says he constantly fantasizes about raping and killing young boys.

“Smith, an unstable individual, has openly made threats to rape and murder children and has stated that he would re-offend upon his release,” Orange County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Michelle Steel said in a statement.
“The fact that he is being released back into our community is unconscionable,” Steel said.
“We must take this threat to our community very seriously and ensure that everyone in Orange County is aware of this individual’s grave threat to our children.”
In 2002, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office planned to prosecute Smith on 20 felony counts of child sexual abuse, according to Breitbart.
The case was dropped due to the statute of limitations.
In 1985, Smith pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor sexual offense involving a child.
Smith has not had to register as a sex offender since 2005.
The convicted sex offender is now reported to be traveling to San Diego County after stopping in the Corona and Lake Elsinore areas of California.

Most recently, California officials said they are ready to release about 8,000 more inmates from state prisons in order to abide by social distancing standards.
Already, about 10,000 inmates have been released from law enforcement custody in the state.
In the most famous case thus far, inmates in Los Angeles were recorded on prison surveillance attempting to spread the coronavirus between each other.
Inmates were filmed drinking from the same water bottles and sniffing face masks.
The inmates, the sheriff said at the time, believed that they would be released if the coronavirus spread throughout the prison.
