Inmate sues prison after two guards had sex with him

Former jail services technicians Jill Curry, 39, and Brett Robinson, 33, are currently in jail serving sentences for custodial sexual misconduct among other crimes.

The lawsuit is seeking $650,000 (£459,363) in damages alleging assault and battery along with negligent hiring and supervision.

According to the lawsuit, filed on March 3, Curry and Robinson both repeatedly had ‘unconsented’ and ‘coercive’ sex with the inmate.

It claims the jail workers abused their power and took advantage of him and the county failed to prevent it through its hiring and training practices.

The inmate was a 25-year-old gang member and sex offender who spent time in jail before.

Lawyers for Curry and Robinson argue that the inmate pursued them and eventually convinced them to unlock several doors and let him into other areas of the unit for sex.

Records say the inmate is in state prison for attempted second-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon and tampering with a witness.

Washington County spokesman Philip Bransford said the county does not believe it is liable in this case.
