A local legislator is continuing his push for answers in the brutal attack of a female clerk at the hands of an inmate at the Rockview state prison in July. State Rep. Kerry Benninghoff said he sat down last week with Department of Corrections officials, including Secretary John Wetzel, to talk about the prison’s internal investigation of the incident. State corrections officials have not said much in public about the July 25 assault, in which an inmate cornered a female clerk alone in her office, choked her unconscious and raped her before leaving her for dead. The inmate was able to be alone with the woman for 27 minutes. Benninghoff was given a preliminary update on the status of the internal investigation during his meeting with Wetzel, but is still waiting for a final report of the incident. Still, Benninghoff said he came away from the meeting with confidence in the investigation. “I think they have a very strong commitment to seeing this through in its entirety,” he said. “It’s not just window dressing. And more importantly, it could be a catalyst for a larger-scale corrections system overview.” Read More. |
