12/16/2024 – Corrections Officer sexually assaulted at G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility (JCF)

JCF reporting a Category IV assault of a female Officer. Specifically, it is being reported prisoner A struck Officer A on the buttock while she was making a count round. 

On December 8, at 1105 hours, Corrections Officer A was making rounds in H-unit. As Officer A walked past cell 35, prisoner A struck Officer A on her buttocks with his right hand. Officer A retreated and requested assistance from the Yard. Prisoner A was placed in wrist restraints and escorted to temporary segregation without further incident. Prisoner A was interviewed by the Lieutenant and stated he “took his shot” with Officer A.

Prisoner A is not currently on any Mental Health Management Plan or case load.

The original misconduct was authored by Officer A as assault and battery. I have spoken with the Warden and the misconduct is being updated and will be re-reviewed for sexual assault.

The Michigan State Police are being notified and the referral has been completed. The Officer is being referred to the Wellness Unit.

Prisoner A has been transferred.
