An inmate at the largest women's prison in Georgia has taken legal action, claiming she was severely assaulted by a guard. The woman, concealed under the pseudonym Jane Doe of Murray County, initiated a lawsuit claiming that a correctional officer at Lee Arrendale State Prison carried out a violent sexual assault against her in December 2022, as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.
The incident reportedly occurred when the officer, whose identity remains concealed, insisted that it was time for Doe to shower, before perpetrating the attack. The brutality of the assault necessitated surgery for partial removal of Doe's uterus, the lawsuit elaborates. Filed on Feb. 20, the details of the case emerge from a somber history of at least four prisoner assaults at Lee Arrendale State Prison since 2020, as documented by FOX 5 Atlanta.
Inquiries directed to the Georgia Department of Corrections seeking clarity on the employment status of the officer implicated in the lawsuit, have yet to receive a response. The accused officer was on the prison's payroll during the summer, and fall of 2022, but his current employment status remains uncertain, as per the US News & World Report.
