A Massachusetts corrections officer, Joao Gomes, faces serious charges including four counts of rape and three of indecent assault for alleged attacks on a female inmate.
The charges stem from multiple incidents at MCI-Framingham, with Gomes also indicted for delivering unauthorized items to inmates, violating recent police reform laws.
This case highlights the implications of the 2020 police reform law, under which law enforcement personnel can be charged for sexual offenses against individuals in their custody.
Gomes was arrested at his home in Rhode Island, with his court appearance still pending, marking a significant legal challenge for corrections personnel.
