   MIAMI (AP) — Five South Florida inmates beat up an accused child   
   killer as he slept because “of the nature of his pending   
   charges,” authorities said in a police report.   
      
   All five have been charged with battery by a detainee for the   
   March 1 attack on Jorge Barahona at the Miami-Dade County jail.   
   Barahona, 53, suffered bruises on his face, a nosebleed and a   
   small cut on his nose, the Miami Herald reported.   
      
   Barahona is accused of killing his adopted 10-year-old daughter   
   Nubia Barahona in February 2011, after investigators said he   
   tortured her and her twin brother Victor for months. The child’s   
   body was found on Valentine’s Day 2011, soaked with chemicals in   
   the back of her father’s truck along an interstate in Palm Beach   
   County.   
      
   His wife, Carmen Barahona, 69, pleaded guilty to first-degree   
   murder and aggravated child abuse charges last year and is   
   expected to testify against Barahona. He faces the death penalty   
   if convicted at trial.   
      
   The case roiled the state Department of Children & Families   
   because despite numerous complaints about abuse of the twins,   
   little was done to protect them. Eventually, the state paid   
   Victor Barahona a $5 million settlement.   
      
   The twins had originally been placed in the Barahona home under   
   foster care, then were adopted by the couple.   
      
   Barahona’s trial was scheduled for last April, but was postponed   
   by the coronavirus pandemic. It has yet to be rescheduled. He   
   was granted a new defense attorney after it was revealed his   
   previous lawyer is under investigation over discrepancies with   
   his legal billing, the newspaper reported.   
      
   The jail attack on Barahona was not caught on surveillance video   
   because the inmates tampered with the camera, according to a   
   police report. The inmates charged in the attack ranged in age   
   from 20 to 29.
