Convicted child-killer Susan Smith has been transferred from the South Carolina
Women's Correctional Institute amid an investigation into a sex scandal at the prison, officials said last week.
Four state Department of Corrections employees are accused of engaging in sexual relations with inmates at the prison, including two correctional officers charged with having sex with Smith at the maximum-security facility in Columbia, S.C.
A state investigation began earlier this month after Smith, serving a life sentence for drowning her two children in a Union County lake in 1994, was treated in August for a sexually transmitted disease.
Smith admitted to having sex at least four times with an officer, Lt. Houston Cagle, and investigators later learned she allegedly also had sexual relations once in July or August with an officer supervisor, Capt. Alfred Rowe.
Rowe was arraigned on September 26th on state charges of having sex with an inmate, and could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison if he is convicted.  Cagle was charged earlier this month and fired from his job.
Prison spokeswoman Brenda Reed declined to disclose details of Smith's medical condition, but said she was not pregnant.
Smith was transferred on Monday to the Leath Correctional Institute, a maximum-security women's prison in Greenwood, S.C., about 65 miles west of Columbia, Reed said.
Federal officials with the National Institute of Corrections, a division of the U.S. Department of Justice, were scheduled to arrive in Columbia last week to begin a review of prison procedures, policies and training programs.
Along with the two officers charged with having sex with Smith, the state investigation has led to charges against another officer supervisor and a maintenance supervisor at the women's prison alleged to have had sex with other inmates.
Several other cases are still under investigation.
