Child Sex Exploitation Ring Leader Killed in Michigan Prison Child Sex Exploitation Ring Leader Killed in Michigan Prison  Milan [MI]— Christian Maire, the mastermind of an international child exploitation ring, was killed and a second defendant injured in what is believed to be a targeted stabbing attack by fellow inmates at Milan federal prison, sources told The News. He was less than one month into a 40 year sentence. According to prosecutors, Maire handpicked members of the ring, known as the "Bored Group," who shared computer skills and a sexual interest in girls ranging from infants to teens. Maire sobbed during his sentencing in federal court in Detroit as some of his victims recounted the emotional devastation his crimes caused.  "I've shattered so many lives," Maire told U.S. District Judge Stephen Murphy. "I never thought I could sink this low. I apologize to all of my victims. I took advantage of your youth and trust and put my own selfishness above your dignity." ... The attack illustrates the danger faced by pedophiles and perpetrators of sex crimes behind bars. In late May, Larry Nassar, a former sports doctor at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics who was convicted of sexually assaulting girls during medical treatment, was assaulted by fellow inmates at a high-security federal prison in Arizona. He was subsequently transferred to a prison in Florida. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2019/01/03/death-reported-milan-federal-prison-michigan/2477366002/
