Former defence lawyer here. If people find out that you've committed a sexual offence against anyone, or possibly some other type of offence against a child, you're going to get beat. Word travels pretty quick in the system Even if in protective custody, you'll still get your ass whooped on occasions like transportation to court.
It's not as bad as the U.S (I believe), but there is still raping, beating and threatening. People are always on the lookout for fresh fish (newcomers unfamiliar with the system)
