‘Bloody puddle’: Police found the 18-year-old unconscious (Picture: Volusia County Corrections)

A paedophile caught abusing an 11-year-old boy has been sent to jail for 25 years.

Raymond Frolander was severely beaten by his victim’s father who walked in on him.

The father, who cannot be named, told police in Daytona Beach, Florida: ‘I just walked in and found a grown man molesting… And I got him in a bloody puddle for you right now’.

The father was not charged and police said he was a dad ‘acting like a dad’.


After Frolander was sentenced, the father revealed the reason for not killing Frolander: ‘He’s going to learn in the next 25 years why I let him live.’



Police arrived at the boy’s home last summer where they found Frolander lying motionless on the floor with knots on his face and bleeding from the mouth.

When police asked if any weapons were involved, the father answered ‘my foot and my fist’.

‘I didn’t proceed to ask him any questions, sir,’ the father said. ‘He is nice and knocked out on the floor for you. I dragged him out to the living room.’
