A female correctional officer is being investigated by the Honolulu Police Department and the Department of Public Safety for multiple sex assaults on an inmate at the Women’s Community Correctional Facility last October.
The 36-year-old female guard, who has been with the Department of Public Safety since 2004, was arrested Monday on five counts of second-degree sex assault and one count of third-degree sex assault.
The alleged attacks were reported by a 31-year-old female inmate who said the assaults occurred between Oct. 2-25 at the Kailua woman’s prison.
The female guard was released about an hour after she turned herself in to authorities at the main police station on South Beretania Street on Monday. No charges have been filed although the investigation is ongoing.
The suspect was temporarily assigned to the Halawa Correctional Facility in November, prison officials reported.
“An internal administrative investigation is being conducted, as is standard procedure whenever there are allegations of abuse reported,” said Toni Schwartz, a spokeswoman for the prison facilities.

Last week, a 38-year-old male prison guard was arrested for multiple incidents of alleged sexual assault on three inmates at the Women’s Community Correctional Center in Kailua over a two-year period.
The police said the female victims, ages 30, 31 and 34, were allegedly assaulted from March 2013 to November 2015.
The male prison guard, who was hired in October 2007, was temporarily transferred in January 2016 from the Kailua women’s facility to the minimum-security Waiawa Correctional Facility.
No other details were released by the police or the Department of Public Safety in either case.

Saw the movie. The prison guard gets it in the end.
scary
Hope others come forward because people like that don’t do stuff like this once.
Hoo Boy. One noddah sex maniac prison guard. And a lezzzie one, too. Need to fire everybody and hire non-union people who can pass maturity, fitness (potbelly pigs), and intelligence tests. Tired of reading about overtime and sick leave abuses. Now you smucks mess up the OCCC transformer and gotta replace the whole thing. You wackos are our enemies. Hey, Ted! Outsource the prisoners to out of state prisons. Saugaro in Arizona is good. Now try Philippines Muntinlupa Prison, Thailand Changi Prison, or any prison system in China, NorKor, middle east, Chechnia, and Russia. They know punishment. Send the worst to them, close up OCCC and the Big Island prison, and keep the less dangerous ones in Halawa. With cable video cams no need to transport them to court.
THE WORD IS “SCHMUCK”.
Spelt both ways.
Smuck is a Hebrew Word for the Foreskin that gets chopped off at birth, a useless piece of d1ck.
Hey, good idea. Would be a hell of lot cheaper and the prisoners get to see the World.
That’s a first….previously all of the alleged assailants were males…equal opportunity I guess…..
Whats her name, I thought the newspaper could release her name after she’s charged.
