A former Kentucky prison guard who was charged with sexually abusing women inmates was sentenced to probation without any jail time on Monday.

In 2011, the Kentucky State Police arrested Officer Sergeant James B. Johnson, and charged him with 25 counts of sexual abuse, trafficking controlled substances, and 50 counts of official misconduct.

An investigation by the State Police determined that Johnson had been supplying drugs and sexually abusing inmates at Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women in Peewee Valley.

On Monday, the 54-year-old former prison guard accepted a plea deal that required him to attend a diversion program. He also was sentenced to seven years of probation.

7. he was not getting laid. he was raping. i hope your post was just not thinking,

9. Sorry...I'm thinking.

He wasn't charged with rape. He was "exchanging" favors with the inmates. It's illegal and immoral. And it happens everyday in prisons across the country. Doesn't make it right but it's part of the culture.
Had I been the judge I'd have given him some time. Give him a dose of his own nasty brew. But the prosecutor didn't ask, the judge didn't . It's a wrap.

4. All those charges . . .

And no jail time?

6. 25 counts of sexual abuse, 50 counts of misconduct.

And we're supposed to believe that his superiors and associates had no idea all this was going on? Please?

I mean, this isn't just ridiculous on the face of it, the implications are staggering.

He must really be a member in good standing of the Good Ole Boys Club.
