First, it was allegations of sexual abuse by officers inside the King County (Wash.) Jail. Now, we're hearing reports officers traded chocolate for sex. And, there are allegations of drugs and alcohol for sex as well. Three King County jailers are suspended; each under investigation for sexual misconduct inside the jail's walls. The suspensions come after a female inmate told police one jailer forced her to have oral sex in the recreation room. She also accused another jailer of inappropriately touching her and taking a photo of her naked breast. Investigators searched both officers' lockers, And according to court papers, inside one locker were numerous photos of nude women and "stacks" of sexually explicit letters written by female inmates. And that's not all. According to the court documents, two inmates claim two jail officers offered them marijuana and tequila in exchange for a show -- they thought that meant a sex act. And published reports allege those same officers offered the inmates candy bars for sex. "Any compensation for sex, whether it's favors, candy, or money even outside the jail, is against the law, it's prostitution," says King County Sheriff's Office Spokesman John Urquhart. Urquhart says he can't confirm if allegations of chocolate for sex are real. All he will say is that investigators are now casting a bigger net. "The investigation is expanding, but at this point we don't know how many other people are involved or if they're involved together," says Urquhart. |
