County officials have agreed to pay more than $4 million to settle a lawsuit brought by an undocumented Mexican immigrant who was beaten by inmates while in custody at the Orange County jail, the man's attorney said Monday.

Fernando Ramirez, then 21, was left brain-damaged by inmates in Module A at the Orange County Central Jail in June 2006. He was jailed after a 6-year-old girl told her mother a stranger touched her over her clothes on her private parts at El Salvador Park in Santa Ana. Ramirez was charged with child molestation but eventually pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of non-sexual battery, said his attorney, Mark Eisenberg.

But Eisenberg said the jail's classification of his client contributed to the attack because other prisoners became aware of the sexual assault allegation. Deputies in charge of monitoring the jail that night were elsewhere in the jail when the attack occurred, Eisenberg said.

Guards can't be everywhere at once. I'm not sure $4 million is fair considering (a)he was convicted of a crime and (b) the inmates did it to him and not the guards. Would have been enough to just cover the medical bills. Anyway, your thoughts?

"The ensuing beating left Ramirez with the intellect of a 4-year-old child. He is unable to walk unassisted and will need help for the rest of his life, said Eisenberg."

and the girl will grow to be an adult with the damage caused by this sick fucker... is she getting 4 million?

Way to go Cali... 4 million dollars you can add to the 24 billion you owe... drop in the bucket

Well, now that he has the mind of a child, I guess it isn't wrong for him to associate with children.

It would be rather ironic if he was now molested by a pedophile.

They should have killed him when he tried to cross the border.

Lethal borders would fix the border issue.

The guy deserves to burn in hell, don't get me wrong. Child molestors, rapists and drunk drivers are the scum of the earth in my eyes.

But the point of prison is to keep people locked up. I'd wager a fair few of the people who beat him up were in there for assault or murder charges... kinda ironic. Frankly every prison should be Supermax style (save for petty crimes). Isolation is a pretty psychologically scarring punishment.

I wouldn't be surprised if the guards left him alone on purpose.

$4million is a huge pay out though. I'm glad he can't enjoy it.

So how much brain damage for 4 million?  Exactly?

So... if someone molests him now... isn't it an eye for an eye, seems fitting, plus they should put that 4 mill in an account he can only access when he writes an advanced physics thesis.
