2 more former guards at FCI Dublin plead guilty in sexual abuse scandal
Two former guards at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin pleaded guilty to sexually abusing female inmates, the latest employees to be convicted in a scandal at the now-shuttered prison.
The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District of California announced Thursday that 34-year-old Jeffrey Wilson pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of a ward and for making false statements to government agency. Lawrence Gacad, 33, pleaded guilty to abusive sexual contact.
"There is zero tolerance for federal correctional officers who violate their positions of trust and authority. And that is especially true where they use those positions to sexually abuse individuals in their custody," Northern California United States Attorney Craig Missakian said in a statement.
