More than a dozen female inmates accused an officer of sexual abuse. He was fired, but never charged with a crime.
SPECIAL REPORT:
'LOCKED UP, FIGHTING BACK'
More than a dozen inmates at New Jersey's only women's prison accused the officer of physical and sexual abuse before an internal investigation verified their claims. The officer was fired, but maintains his innocence, and he was never criminally charged.
An NJ Advance Media review of internal prison documents and court records shows corrections officials had gathered a trove of evidence against the officer. Inmates say prosecutors now need to revisit the case.
