An 18-year-old Kansas woman claims she was raped four times as an inmate in the Atchison County jail and is seeking $2 million in damages from the county. According to documents obtained from the county, Sheena Kley accused former Atchison County Deputy Travis McBride, 28, of using his position of authority through fear of reprisal and intimidation to overcome and force her to have sexual intercourse against her will on Jan. 25-27. On those three nights, Kley claimed a female county corrections officer aided and abetted by escorting her from a jail cell into a multi-purpose room where McBride was waiting. Later, on the night of Feb. 1, Kley claimed that a male corrections officer aided and abetted the crime in the same manner as the female officer. Following the discovery of the crime, Kley claimed that jail personnel and Atchison County Sheriff Calhoon failed to provide her medical care. In a letter dated Feb. 16, Caleb Stegall, of the Stegall Law Firm in Perry, informed county officials of the action on behalf of Kley. In addition to rape, McBride is accused of assault, battery, false imprisonment and outrage. The correction officers involved in the suit are accused of conspiracy. Sheriff Calhoon said last week that anybody could sue anybody for anything. “However, the statements in the claim are not consistent with the criminal investigation leading up to the charges,” Sheriff Calhoon added. McBride was arrested three weeks ago and charged with four counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a female inmate while he worked as a jailer. The former deputy was serving as a jailer because of an injury. |
