Former Federal Women's Prison Officers Plead Guilty to Multiple Sex Abuse Charges

Two former officers at a federal women's prison in California have pleaded guilty to multiple counts of sexual abuse, following an investigation by The Associated Press. Andrew Jones, a former cook supervisor, pleaded guilty to six felony charges of sexual abuse, while Nakie Nunley, a guard at the prison call center, pleaded guilty to four charges of sexual abuse and five lesser felonies of abusive sexual contact. Both men also pleaded guilty to making false statements to the government. This comes after a previous investigation revealed a culture of rampant abuse and cover-up at the facility, resulting in prison sentences for the former warden and chaplain.
