Gacad, a correctional officer, pleaded guilty to sexual abuse against an incarcerated woman, admitting he exchanged explicit notes and engaged in inappropriate touching. Judge Yvonne Rogers will sentence him and fellow officer Wilson in November amid a backdrop of over 100 allegations of abuse at FCI Dublin. A class action suit settled for $116 million highlighted the systemic issue at the institution. Only Darrell Wayne Smith's trial remains after an earlier mistrial, set to proceed in September on revised charges.
Gacad exchanged sexually explicit notes and emails with a woman incarcerated at FCI Dublin, and on multiple occasions, he kissed her and touched her buttocks.
Since the culture of abuse at Dublin was revealed in 2021, over 100 women have come forward, including many who claimed Wilson assaulted them.
A class action suit settled with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons awarded women a total of $116 million, and a second suit secured protections for about 300 women.
Darrell Wayne Smith's new trial, following a mistrial, will begin on September 17, focusing on a new indictment that excludes one original allegation.
