Cary Smith, Sex Offender From California Who Called Himself 'Mr. Rape, Torture, Kill' Arrested In Phoenix
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) - A notorious child molester from California who called himself "Mr. Rape, Torture, Kill" was arrested Thursday in Phoenix, Arizona.
Police said they caught Cary Smith taunting the family of one of his victims over the last week, online. In the arrest report, officers said that Smith was mad at the victim's mother for what she'd said about him online and he wanted her to believe he was back in California, as a way to scare her.

The woman he contacted, Lynne Rinner, said she is relieved that he is back in jail, where he belongs.
"It's frustrating that he's never been criminally convicted of anything and he more than deserves it, it is really nice to hopefully have some criminal charges that will stick for him," Rinner said.
Smith had repeatedly admitted to fantasizing about abusing and killing young boys and spent 21 years in a state psychiatric facility.
He was released in 2020 and moved to Phoenix.
Smith is now being charged with two sex-offender felonies after failing to register his email and Facebook account, and is due back in court later on this month.
