A Western Kentucky Correctional Officer has been arrested after an investigation into an alleged sexual relationship with an inmate.
Kentucky State Police spokeswoman Trooper Sarah Burgess with Post 1 says troopers responded to the Western Kentucky Correctional Complex in Fredonia on Tuesday after they received a call about a reported sexual relationship between an officer and inmate.
After an investigation, a 35-year old Marion man was taken into custody and charged with third-degree rape and four counts of second-degree sexual abuse. He was lodged in the Crittenden County Jail.
Trooper Derral Redwine is conducting the investigation which is ongoing.
The policy of the News Edge is not to use the names of any person or persons accused in connection with a rape or sexual abuse case until the person or persons is/are formally indicted by a grand jury.
