HONOLULU (AP) — A male corrections officer at a women's prison in Honolulu has been indicted on four counts of alleged sex assault on an inmate.
KHON-TV reports that the grand jury on Thursday indicted Irwin Ah Hoy, a corrections officer who worked at the Women's Community Correctional Center in Oahu. Prosecutors say Hoy forced the woman into a private bathroom and that the assaults happened on two separate dates last March. They say they have DNA evidence in the case.
Prosecutors say the woman reported what occurred to her parole attorney. The woman also has alleged that Hoy assaulted at least two other inmates. She has since been moved to a federal facility for her protection.
The Department of Public Safety said in a statement that the allegations are under investigation.
