A convicted child molester at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison, Corcoran (SATF) has died, allegedly at the hands of another inmate. Officials are treating the death as a homicide.

The deceased has been identified as inmate David Bobb, 48, who was serving a life sentence for an aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 years old, according to a news release by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
