PORTLAND, Maine — A Maine correctional officer has been fired and another demoted in connection with the April death of a wheelchair-bound sex offender after a beating at the state prison in Warren.
Sixty-four-year-old Sheldon Weinstein, of New York, was serving a two-year term for sexually assaulting a young girl when he was attacked by one or more inmates on April 20. He died four days later.
The Portland Press Herald says the Department of Corrections fired Joshua Bailey and demoted William Robinson from sergeant to corrections officer. Associate Corrections Commissioner Denise Lord says Bailey and Robinson were disciplined in September, but it couldn’t be made public until it became final. Investigations into the death of Weinstein continue.
