INDIANA, Pa. (AP) — A woman has been fired as a guard at a county jail and charged with having sex with a male inmate.
Officials said 25-year-old Anna Grafton, of Indiana, was charged and fired on Friday.
State troopers in Indiana, Pa. contend Grafton had sex with the inmate during the overnight hours of May 25 and 26.
Grafton is charged with institutional sexual assault even though the inmate acknowledged he consented to the sex. That's because inmates are legally considered not to be able to consent to having sex with their captors.
Two other jail guards and a contractor have been charged in recent months in connection with inmate sex at the jail about 45 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
