A former Suffolk County jail officer avoided being sent to jail last week after admitting he gave favors to two female inmates in exchange for sex. Mark S. Vaughn, 37, of Boston, received a two-year suspended sentence and three years probation, meaning he stays out of jail unless he violates probation. He pleaded guilty to two counts of soliciting or accepting corrupt gifts. Vaughn was accused of giving two female inmates, both 21 at the time, extra food, cigarettes, jewelry, and personal hygiene products in exchange for sex at the city's South Bay House of Correction. The encounters took place in July and October 1999 in the prison's segregation unit, which is used in cases where a prisoner needs to be kept isolated from the main prison population. Vaughn, a 10-year veteran of the sheriff's office, was fired in 2000. The state Legislature passed a law in 1999 making sex between a jail officer and an inmate a felony, even if it was consensual. The incidents took place before the law was passed. |
