A Suffolk County, New York correctional officer in Riverhead, New York was arrested on Friday after allegedly forcing an inmate to perform a sexual act.
"This defendant is alleged to have violated his oath and preyed upon an individual whom he was sworn to protect," Tierney said. "Hard-working corrections officers play an essential role in our criminal justice system and are entrusted with the care and safety of incarcerated individuals. My office will not tolerate any abuse of that trust. I thank the Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in this investigation." Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
