What Happened To Serial Killer Billy Mansfield, Jr.?

As Florida news outlet WFLA explains, Mansfield, Jr.’s father, William Mansfield, Sr., was also a convicted sex offender. In 1980, around the same that his son was also arrested, Mansfield, Sr. was sentenced to a thirty-year prison sentence on forty sex abuse charges with dozens of children, as 1990 reporting from the Tampa Bay Times explains. After serving only 10 years of his sentence, Mansfield, Sr. was released on good behavior, as the Tampa Bay Times goes on to note. 

From the mid-1970s, Mansfield, Jr., himself, spent time in jail for sexually assaulting a minor. His sentence was cut short when he agreed to testify against a cellmate. Before long, though, Mansfield, Jr. was back in prison for assaulting two teenagers. In addition to sexual assault, Mansfield, Jr. was convicted of battery and kidnapping, as the Tampa Bay Times elsewhere reports. After serving that sentence, Mansfield, Jr. moved to California to work on a mushroom farm with his brother, Gary Mansfield.
