KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — Ex-Benton County jail guard Gregory Andre Brown was sentenced Wednesday to five days in jail for having sex with an inmate on a work crew.
The Tri-City Herald reports the 38-year-old Kennewick man entered a guilty plea to a charge of official misconduct.
Prosecutors say the sexual activity with the woman in January 2009 in a restroom might have appeared consensual, but the law says an inmate cannot consent to a sex act with a law enforcement officer.
Brown was fired last summer after he was charged.
