I saw one case where a preacher who molested four young women in a juvenile detention facility was found not guilty. Why? Because the jury believes inmates are automatically liars and the criminals outside the bars use that to their advantage and as a way to get away with their violent sexual crimes. Let's hope the jury sees the truth this time and puts the abusive jailer behind bars. When I was growing up in Oklahoma, I heard about these stories and often the perpetrator got away with it.

The others seem to be guilty of other crimes (harassment, death threats), but as far as those allegations currently entered in the lawsuit, it seems like there aren't other accused rapists at this point. Though I wouldn't be surprised if that changes when names are added the suit (as is apparently expected).

Now, comes this story in Oklahoma and it is revolting. It reaffirms my opposition to guards working in prisons with inmates of the opposite gender. I think that criminal charges should be filed against the jailers who raped these four inmates.
