Sheriff: Jail corporal accused of sexual contact with inmate

Sedgwick County KS sheriff patchWICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s office says that a detention corporal has been arrested on multiple counts of unlawful sexual relations with an inmate.

Sheriff Jeff Easter said Wednesday that authorities received a complaint from a third party on March 25th that a corporal at the Sedgwick County Jail and a female inmate had sexual contact.

Easter said that the corporal, who has not been identified, was arrested Wednesday on two counts of unlawful sexual relations and one count of attempted unlawful sexual relations.

The corporal, who is no longer with the sheriff’s office, had been an employee since October 2008. The woman is no longer in the custody of the Sedgwick County Jail.

The case will be handed over to Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett’s office for review.
