U.S. prison guard indicted for intimate relations with inmates and data theft from prisoners.
A 35-year-old corrections officer named Christina Miller has been charged in Pennsylvania for engaging in sexual relationships with inmates and stealing their personal data. The alleged incidents occurred between 2020 and 2023 at SCI Forest prison, where Miller worked.
According to CBS News, Miller has been charged with sexual assault, having intimate relationships with three inmates, conspiracy to commit identity theft, and cybercrimes. She is accused of unlawfully accessing the prison’s computer database to steal personal data and providing this information to third parties for fraud schemes.
The details of the previous incident, involving a US teacher and a teenager, have not been specified. However, it is known that the teacher was accused of grooming the teenager and supplying him with drugs for two years. The nature of the drugs involved in this incident has not been disclosed.
Bail for Miller has been set at $100,000, but no information is provided about the current status of the case or any legal proceedings against her. It is important to note that this case does not necessarily indicate a general increase in similar cases nationwide.
Investigators allege that Miller's inappropriate activities occurred at SCI Forest prison in Pennsylvania. Miller is currently being held in custody and faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges.
Sources also mention ongoing staffing shortages and security challenges in US prisons, but they do not specifically relate to increases in this type of staff misconduct.
