An investigation and DNA testing have identified former prison officer Randy Easter as the father of a baby boy born to Nevada prison inmate Korinda Martin on Jan. 12, a state Department of Prisons official said last Tuesday. Assistant Director Glen Whorton added the department's inspector general has turned over its information on the case to the state attorney general's office for review. Criminal charges could be brought against Martin and Easter for violating a law that prohibits sex in the prisons. The law says a prisoner who voluntarily engages in sexual conduct with another person is guilty of a felony. So is anyone else who has sex with a prisoner. Martin said she was impregnated by Easter at the women's prison in North Las Vegas. The prison is run by Corrections Corp. of America. The baby was born after Martin was transferred from the prison system's regional medical center in Carson City to Carson-Tahoe Hospital. In a lawsuit she filed, Martin named Easter as the father and sued him, Corrections Corp. of America, the Department of Corrections and Gov. Kenny Guinn. |
